Direct sow Amber Carrot seed into prepared beds in spring as soon as soil can be worked, or in summer for fall harvest. Sow pelleted seed with attention to consistent moisture during germination, as the pellet coating requires an initial watering to dissolve but will fail to germinate if the soil dries out before seedlings emerge.
Amber Carrots reach maturity in approximately 70 days. Harvest when roots reach desired eating size by gently loosening soil around the crown and pulling. For winter storage, plan your planting so harvest occurs about 100 days before your expected fall frost, allowing time to condition and store the roots.
