'Little Finger' carrots prefer loose, well-drained soil, free of stones, to encourage short root development.

Keep the soil moist during germination, which typically takes 10 to 20 days. Thin the seedlings to leave 2 to 3 inches between each plant. Harvest carrots when they are 2 to 4 inches tall for optimum flavor and tender texture.
