DESCRIPTION
Growing Imperator 58 Carrot Vegetable Garden Seeds
Growing Directions:
Imperator 58 Carrots require loose sandy soil with a pH level of approximately seven. Ensure that the soil is free of rocks and lumps so that these carrots can grow straight down. To do so, rake through the soil before sowing seeds. Seeds must be planted directly in an area with full sun, because they are a root crop. Sow seeds half an inch deep with one to two inches between the plants and twelve to eighteen inches between rows. Keep the soil moist, providing around one inch of water each week, and regularly remove weeds as these will affect the roots" growth. After around sixty five to eighty days, the Imperator 58 carrots will be ready to be harvested. Pull them directly out of the ground when the tops sticking out of the soil appear to be full size.
