Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
The Little Finger carrot thrives in loose, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Ensure the planting area is free from rocks and clumps to prevent stunted growth or deformities. Carrots grow best in full sun, needing at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
When to Grow
Little Finger carrots can be planted in both spring and late summer for two separate harvests. In cooler climates, sow seeds 3-5 weeks before the last expected frost in spring or about 10 weeks before the first fall frost. In warmer climates, carrots can grow throughout the winter. Ensure soil temperatures are between 50 F and 75 F for optimal germination. It’s best to check your local frost dates and adjust planting times accordingly.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow the seeds directly into the garden bed about 1/8 inch deep and space or thin them 2-3 inches apart. Carrot seeds can be challenging to handle due to their small size, so using seed tape or mixing seeds with sand can help with even distribution. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which takes about 12-18 days. Avoid overwatering to prevent root diseases.
How to Grow
Water regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Applying a light mulch can help maintain moisture and keep the soil cool, which carrots prefer. Carrots require a steady supply of moisture and benefit from a low-nitrogen, high-potassium fertilizer to promote healthy root development.
How to Save
Carrots are biennial, meaning they flower and produce seeds in their second year. To save seeds, leave a few carrots in the ground over winter or dig them up and replant them in spring. Once the flower heads turn brown, cut them off, dry them further indoors, and then thresh them to collect the seeds.
FAQ
Can Little Finger carrots be grown in containers?
Yes, they are particularly well-suited for containers. Choose a container that is at least 12 inches deep to allow room for root growth.
How long do Little Finger carrots take to mature?
They typically mature in about 55 days, depending on growing conditions.
What pests can affect Little Finger carrots?
While Little Finger carrots are generally pest-resistant, keep an eye out for rust flies and maintain soil moisture to prevent disease.
