How to Grow Kyoto Red Carrots

Prepare fertile, deeply dug, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in early fall in a sunny location. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Thin by cutting tops to avoid disturbing remaining roots. Mulch to keep soil cool, conserve moisture.

Harvesting Kyoto Red Carrots

Because this is a more tender variety, you should be gentle and cautious when pulling them up from the ground. It helps to loosen the soil before seeding to make harvesting easier.
