Growing Directions:
Yellow carrots grow long and slim, and require soil free of lumps with a sandy texture. The soil should also be moist and have a pH level between six and seven. Sow the seeds directly outdoors in an area of full sun. To have a continual harvest all summer, sow a few rows of seeds every two weeks or so. When spacing the rows, keep four inches between the plants and nine to sixteen inches between rows. Water the roots consistently throughout their growth. After around seventy days, the Yellow carrots will reach their full size and be ready to be pulled out of the soil.
