Where Can You Grow Carrots?

Carrots grow well across Australia in loose, well-drained soil free from stones and clumps. They thrive in full sun and are best sown directly into the garden, as transplanting can disturb root development.

For best results, keep the soil evenly moist during germination, thin seedlings early, and sow successively every 3–4 weeks for a continuous harvest. Shorter varieties like Chantenay are ideal for heavy soils, while longer types like Imperator or Nantes grow best in deep, loose beds.

Health Benefits of Carrots

Carrots are rich in beta-carotene (vitamin A), vitamin K, potassium, and fibre. They support healthy vision, skin, and immunity. Colourful heirloom types also provide added antioxidants such as anthocyanins (purple carrots) and lutein (yellow carrots), boosting their nutritional value.
