Grow in an open, sunny position with deeply cultivated, well-drained soil; heavy clay or stony soils may cause carrots to fork. Can also be grown in containers. For more advice see the RHS A-Z Guides to vegetable cultivation

Propagate from seed sown in situ between February and July, early sowings should be protected with cloches or fleece. Sow thinly to avoid having to thin out seedlings, as this can attract carrot fly
