Fill the holes with a sieved mixture of sandy compost and sow a few seeds at the top of each \"station.\" This allows the roots to grow perfectly straight and unobstructed by stones or heavy clay. Always harvest in the evening to reduce the risk of Carrot Fly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Puzzle Seed Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56553516269892,"sku":"sku-56846395670853","price":2.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/0692\/3076\/files\/JamesScarleyIntermediate.png?v=1774272709","url":"https:\/\/www.sturmergardencentre.co.uk\/products\/carrot-seeds-james-scarlet-intermediate-heritage-maincrop-exhibition-2-000-seeds","provider":"Sturmer Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
