Optimal Growing Conditions:

Grow vibrant ‘Pulsar Pink’ Carrots with these optimal conditions:

• Soil: Loose, well-drained sandy-loam or loamy soil is ideal. Remove stones and compacted areas to allow long root growth. Target a pH roughly between 6.0 and 7.0.
• Sunlight: Full sun is best (at least 6+ hours daily) to maximize root color, sweetness, and development.
• Sowing: Direct sow seeds early in spring as soon as soil is workable. Some growers also plant in late summer for a fall crop. Sow seeds shallowly, lightly cover and keep soil moist until germination. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
• Spacing: Thin seedlings to about 2-3″ apart in rows 12-18″ apart once true leaves appear. Adequate spacing ensures roots develop to full size without crowding.
• Watering: Maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during early growth. Avoid fluctuations that may cause forked roots or bitterness.
• Harvest: Typically mature in about 65 days. Pull when roots reach size but before they become overly woody—sweetness tends to be best when harvested at the right time. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
