Sow in rows 25 cm apart. Pack lightly. Thin to 5 cm, then to 10 cm when plants are 10 cm tall. If possible, protect young shoots from slugs. Sow in February and March in tunnels or trays, staggering sowing every 2 to 3 weeks to spread out harvesting.
Water regularly, but lightly, to encourage emergence, then more abundantly once a week the month after sowing to prevent the roots from "digging in". Carrots can be harvested all year round if the soil does not freeze or if it is protected by mulch.
