Growing Instructions
Starting your seeds
You can start Danvers Carrot seeds indoors using a heat mat to encourage germination. Once the seedlings sprout and grow a few sets of leaves, move them outdoors. Keep the soil moist and provide 6–8 hours of sunlight daily. When direct sowing Danvers Carrot seeds, plant them about 1/4 inch deep in well-drained, loose soil, spacing them 2–3 inches apart to give them room to develop.
Harvesting your seeds
To harvest carrots wait until they reach a suitable size for your preference. Gently loosen the soil around them and pull them out by grasping the foliage near the root. Harvesting can typically begin once the tops of the carrots are 1/2 to 3/4 inch in diameter, but you can leave them longer for larger carrots.
