How Do I Sow Thompson & Morgan Autumn King 2 Carrot Seeds?

Garden tip: Thompson & Morgan seed packets show full details of sowing and transplanting instructions.

Direct Sowing Seeds

Directly sow carrot seeds thinly in April to June at a depth of 1 cm (0.5") in drills 30 cm (12") apart. Germination takes 10 to 20 days.


When large enough to handle, thin out the seedlings within each row to 5 cm (2") apart. Where space is limited, growing carrots in containers will also produce a worthwhile crop.

Growing Carrots More Information

Water well to encourage germination. Once germinated, carrots should be watered only when necessary to keep the soil moist as excessive water may encourage leaf growth instead of roots. During growth, the carrot roots may be earthed up to prevent green crowns developing.


Cover later carrot sowings with fleece or fine netting, and remove all thinnings from the site to minimise carrot fly infestation. Maincrop carrots can be harvested from 12 weeks after their sowing date. Pull a single carrot first to assess the size of the roots.


Garden tip: If the soil is dry when lifting carrots, it can be made easier by watering the ground beforehand. Roots can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to 4 months.
