In warmer climates, leave them in the ground and cover them thickly with mulch over winter. From 30-40 carrots should be harvested to preserve genetic diversity. In areas where the ground freezes over winter, it will be necessary to dig up the carrots before the first heavy frost twist off the tops and store the carrots at 35 degrees F in damp sand or sawdust over winter, making sure the roots do not touch. Seed Saving: Because carrot varieties will cross pollinate with each other as well as with wild carrots, isolate the purple carrot plant for seed at least two miles from other varieties or provide a protective cage. In warmer climates, leave the carrots in the garden over winter topped with a thick layer of mulch. To store carrots for the winter, twist off the tops but do not wash them. If they become difficult to pull, make sure the ground is moist. Begin gathering baby carrots when grow big enough to eat, to allow the remaining carrots to reach a larger size. Harvesting: Cosmic Purple carrots are known for their sweet, slightly spicy flavor. Keep weeds under control to prevent the young carrots from being stunted. When the tops of the carrots begin to emerge from the soil, cover them with mulch to keep them tender. The farther apart they are, the bigger they will grow. Growing: When the seedlings reach 2" high, gently thin them to 2-4" apart, depending on desired carrot size. For companion planting benefits, plant bulk Cosmic Purple carrot seeds with aromatic herbs or onions this will repel the carrot fly and its maggots. Warmer climates may be restricted to spring and fall crops, since carrots cannot tolerate an excess of heat.
In cooler climates, sow more seeds every 3-6 weeks for a continuous crop. Keep the soil moist, but do not allow the the area above the seeds to become hard - this may prevent the seeds from germinating. Build up a raised mound in the row, about 8" wide sow bulk Cosmic Purple carrot seeds on it, and cover them with 1/4" very loose soil.
