Thin to 2-3 inches apart. Water regularly.

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Kuroda is thought of as very hardy, so this plant will tend to survive through freezing conditions. Ensure your soil is loamy and sandy and has a ph of between 6.0 and 6.6 as Carrot is a weakly acidic soil loving plant.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Kuroda about 14 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Kuroda is a very hardy plant.

90-120 days from sowing to harvest.
