Optimal Growing Conditions:

To cultivate 'Cosmic Purple' Carrots successfully, consider the following growing conditions:

• Location: Choose a sunny spot in your garden that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. This will promote healthy growth and enhance their sweetness.
• Soil: Carrots prefer loose, sandy loam soil that drains well. Avoid compacted or rocky soil, as it can hinder the growth of the taproot.
• Planting: Directly sow seeds in the garden in early spring, once the soil can be worked. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep, spaced about 2 inches apart in rows that are 12-18 inches apart. Thin seedlings to ensure proper spacing as they grow.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during germination and the early stages of growth. Avoid overwatering, as soggy soil can lead to root rot.
• Harvesting: 'Cosmic Purple' Carrots are typically ready for harvest in 70-80 days. Harvest when they reach your desired size, but be cautious not to wait too long, as they can become woody.
