Red Carrot 'Korina'

1000 seeds

Sow seeds directly in well-draining, loose, fertile soil in early spring, once the soil is workable. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep, spacing them 1-2 inches apart in rows. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged for even germination. Carrots prefer cool temperatures (55°F - 75°F/13°C - 24°C) and full sun. Thin seedlings to 3-4 inches apart to allow for proper root development. Fertilize lightly with compost or a balanced fertilizer for healthy growth. Water regularly to ensure smooth, tender roots. Harvest when the carrots are 6-8 inches long and have a bright red color, typically 70-80 days after sowing. Regular thinning and timely harvesting promote better root development.
