When the seedlings start to grow, thin them to leave a space of about 5cm between each plant. Try and keep in between the plants free from weeds. The carrots should be ready for harvesting after 15 to 18 weeks. Before sowing, it is best to work the soil you are going to sow your carrots in and make it as fine as possible to a good depth.
