Carrot seeds can be planted as early as one month before the average date of the last frost. If you would rather plant carrot seedlings, wait until after the danger of the last frost. Dig holes that are slightly bigger than the root ball of each seedling. Space them between 12 and 18 inches apart. Place one seedling into each hole, fill in the hole with soil and press down firmly. Water the seeds or seedlings with a garden hose to moisten the soil. Continue watering your carrots regularly so the soil remains moist. Carrots tend to grow best in warm, moist soil so watering is very important, particularly during the hot summer. Pull weeds as soon as you notice them. Weeds can choke off young carrot plants by robbing them of moisture and nutrients. Harvest your finger carrots between 50 and 65 days after planting. Carrots can be difficult to pull from the ground.

Preserving and Storing Little Finger Carrots

Most vegetables, including Little Finger carrot seeds, should be blanched before freezing. Blanching is the process of scalding vegetables in boiling water for several minutes, then stopping the cooking process by immersing in ice water. Enzyme action causes raw vegetables to lose flavor, color and texture, and eventually the danvers carrot seeds would spoil; blanching stops this process. It also ensures that the surface of the vegetable is clean of dirt, enhances the color and helps to retain vitamins. However, if you plan to use your frozen carrots within three months, you can freeze them without blanching. Be aware that the texture will be different if you don’t blanch them. For the best quality carrots that will retain their color, vitamins and other nutrients, and will last longer than three months in the freezer, blanch your carrots before freezing.
