📖 Complete Growing Guide
Homegrown carrots are sweeter and crunchier than store-bought. They need loose, deep soil and patience, but the results are worth it.
**Growing Tips:**
• Sow directly - carrots don't transplant
• Keep soil consistently moist until germination
• Thin seedlings to 2-3 inches apart
• Loose, sandy soil = straight carrots
• Rocky/clay soil = forked carrots
• Hill soil around tops to prevent green shoulders
**Container Growing:** Use at least 12" deep containers. Choose round or half-long varieties.
**Varieties:**
• Nantes - sweet, cylindrical
• Chantenay - shorter, good for heavy soil
• Purple/Red - colorful and nutritious
