- Soil requirements: Black carrots prefer well-drained, loose, sandy loam soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8. The soil should be free of stones and clumps to allow the roots to grow straight and long.
- Sunlight needs: Black carrots require full sun, which means they need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Watering requirements: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the seeds regularly, especially during dry periods, to ensure even moisture. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.
- Planting season: The best time to plant black carrot seeds is in early spring or late summer. In cooler climates, plant in early spring, while in warmer climates, late summer planting is ideal.
- Depth and spacing: Sow the seeds 1/4 inch deep and space them about 2-3 inches apart. Rows should be spaced 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
- Germination time: Black carrot seeds typically germinate within 10-20 days, depending on soil temperature and moisture conditions.
- Maturity time: Black carrots usually reach maturity in about 70-80 days after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest black carrots is in the early morning or late afternoon when temperatures are cooler. This helps to preserve the crispness and flavor of the carrots.
- Harvesting tips: Use a garden fork or spade to gently lift the carrots from the soil. Avoid pulling them by the tops to prevent breakage. After harvesting, remove the tops to prevent moisture loss and store the carrots in a cool, dark place. For long-term storage, keep them in a refrigerator or root cellar.
