Sow seeds thinly in shallow drills 1 cm deep, spacing rows 20 to 25 cm apart. Germination usually occurs within 2 to 3 weeks. Thin seedlings to 5 cm apart when large enough to handle. Carrots prefer light, sandy soils free of stones for straight root development. Avoid fresh manure which can cause forking

Water regularly during dry spells to prevent splitting and maintain even growth. Daucus carota ‘Speedo F1’ benefits from consistent moisture and thinning for best root size. Harvest when roots are firm, smooth, and brightly coloured. Successional sowings every 3 weeks extend the harvest season
