Carrot Planting Program

Planning a successful carrot planting program is no easy task. Although it is possible to use carrot varieties outlined below another option is to grow shorter-root carrots such as Chantenay Red Core in buckets and then move the buckets away from the risk of frost during late Winter.

Here at Growseed, we sow carrots every week in our 30ltr buckets. This provides you with an almost all-year-round supply of carrots.
