Plant details
Rocket' is an early maturing variety which can be sown in frames or under cloches from February. Bright orange, cylindrical roots are produced, the young ones are excellent in salads. Carrots are ideal for free-draining soils, such as sandy soils, which warm up quickly in spring. For an early crop start sowing in March, if weather permits, in a warm, well-drained spot. Maincrop carrots, which are sown from April to July, are less fussy. Sow seeds thinly, in rows 30cm (12in) apart, to help minimise thinning out which can attract carrot fly.
