Pastinaca sativa

Planting Tips:

Sow in shallow furrow and cover with ¼” of sifted compost or light sand.  Best fall planted, but can withstand cooler summers, germination can take up to 3 weeks.  Careful weeding is important because of the long germination.  Needs consistent watering and loose soil.  Not happy when transplanted, best direct sown.
 

Seeding Rate:

200,000-300,000 plants/acre, aproximately 3-4 lb.

Heirloom seeds are hardy but always take care with your garden seeds to give them the appropriate amount of moisture - not letting the vegetable seeds dry out prematurely or overwatering and possibly having them rot.
