How To Grow

To sow rainbow mix carrot seeds, prepare a well-drained garden bed and sow the seeds about 1 centimeter deep, spacing them 5 to 7 centimeters apart in rows. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period, which typically takes 2 to 3 weeks. Once the seedlings emerge, thin them to ensure proper spacing, leaving about 10 to 15 centimeters between plants. Provide regular watering and weed control to promote healthy growth. Carrots are ready for harvest approximately 60 to 75 days after sowing, depending on the variety and growing conditions.

Harvesting

When harvesting rainbow mix carrots, wait until the roots reach a diameter of about 2 to 3 centimeters. Gently loosen the soil around the base of the carrot, being careful not to damage the root. Then, grasp the green tops firmly and pull the carrot out of the ground. Rinse off any dirt and debris before storing or consuming the harvested carrots.

Seed Saving

To save seeds from rainbow mix carrots, allow some plants to mature fully and produce flowering stalks. As the flowers fade and the seed heads begin to dry, carefully collect the seeds. Remove the seeds from the seed heads and ensure they are completely dry before storing them in a cool, dry place. Properly stored carrot seeds can remain viable for several years.
