- Soil requirements: Purple Haze 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: These 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 deeply once or twice a week, depending on the weather and soil conditions. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely between waterings.
- Planting season: The best time to plant Purple Haze carrot seeds is in early spring or late summer. In cooler climates, you can plant them in early spring for a summer harvest or in late summer for a fall harvest.
- Depth and spacing: Sow the seeds 1/4 inch deep and space them about 1 inch apart. Thin the seedlings to 2-3 inches apart once they are a few inches tall to give them room to grow.
- Germination time: Purple Haze carrot seeds typically germinate in 10-21 days, depending on soil temperature and conditions.
- Maturity time: These carrots usually reach maturity in about 70-75 days after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest Purple Haze carrots is in the early morning or late afternoon when the temperatures are cooler. This helps to preserve their crispness and flavor.
- Harvesting tips: Use a garden fork or spade to gently lift the carrots from the soil. Be careful not to damage the roots. 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 a root cellar.
