They require full sun for optimum development but will tolerate some very light shade.
Carrots benefit from a plentiful moisture supply and should be provided with 1 in of water each week.
Water your carrots with at least 1 inch of water every week. Mulching will help conserve water and keep the soil cool.
If your soil is not rich in organic matter, supplemental feeding will be necessary about two weeks after the carrot tops emerge. Any good vegetable fertilizer will do. Because they are grown for their roots, don't go overboard with nitrogen fertilizer, which mostly aids foliage growth
