Sow little and often. Successional sowings give you carrots for months — the calendar shows the windows.
Early and round-rooted carrots are quick and forgiving — many also feature among our fast-growing vegetables and short types thrive in our container range. For winter stores, choose long maincrops. They sit happily alongside other roots like beetroot and parsnip.
Carrots want light, stone-free soil — our soil guide explains how to avoid forked roots — and they're sown direct, never transplanted. Their one real enemy is carrot fly; sow thinly and use the tricks in our pest control guide plus a little companion planting to outwit it.
Growing carrots in pots? Deep containers of fine compost give perfect, fly-free roots on a patio.

When do I sow carrots?
From early spring through to midsummer, a little at a time for a long season. Early types can be started under cover — see the sowing calendar.
Why are my carrots forked?
Usually stony ground or freshly manured soil. Grow them in light, stone-free soil that wasn't recently manured.
How do I stop carrot fly?
Sow thinly to avoid thinning, cover with fine mesh and use companion planting — our pest guide has the details.
Can I grow carrots in pots?
Yes — deep containers of fine compost give straight roots, and pots help dodge carrot fly.
How long do carrots take?
Early types around eight to ten weeks, maincrops about sixteen weeks from sowing.
