Carrot 'Flyaway F1' Seeds

• Prepare the soil in advance of sowing to remove stones and produce a deep, fine soil texture.
• Do not add manure to the soil as this will cause the roots to fork.
• Keep well-watered during dry spells as this will help prevent the roots from splitting.
• Young roots can be pulled early to enjoy eating young and raw such as in salads, or lightly steamed or roasted.

How to grow

• Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½in) deep, directly into finely prepared soil that has already been watered. Allow 30cm (12in) between rows.
• Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection.
• Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Thin by harvesting young carrots evenly from the row, allowing remainder to grow on.
• Water well until plants are established.
• Regular sowings made every 3 weeks will ensure a continuous supply of young roots.
• Roots can be lifted in autumn. Remove soil and store in dry sand for use during winter.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
