How to grow Carrot 'Afghan'

  • Full Sun

  • High

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Afghan is thought of as very hardy, so this plant will tend to go dormant over the long winter months. Ideally plant in loamy and sandy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 6.5 as Afghan likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Growing Afghan from seed

Aim to sow 0.23 inches (0.6 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 0.39 inches (1.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

Transplanting Afghan

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