Notes
Slugs love young carrot seedlings so protect early started plants. Thin out when the seedlings are large enough to handle if they are too close. Weed carefully during early stages.
|
Harvesting
Can be harvested over a long period, although if left in ground over winter they may split attracting slugs.
