Sandy soil free from stones is ideal. Don't grow on ground that has been manured in the last year as it causes forking. A sunny spot is perfect.

How:
|
Sow thinly, directly into a pre-watered drill 1.5cm deep. Aim for a seed every 2.5cm to avoid the need for too much thinning and sow in rows 15cm apart. If you do need to thin do it at night when the carrot-fly is not around. Lightly cover the seed with fine soil. Seedlings should appear at about 17 days. If grown in containers just sprinkle seed thinly over surface of compost & cover with fine sieved compost, gently firm & water.
