Carrot Nantes

$1.00$44.00

Nantes Carrot produces long, evenly cylindrical roots that have a blunt end and good root shear. It has a lovely sweet, earthy, typical carrot flavour and does not possess much of a core. Carrot Nantes typically do not over-ripen, and will be fine being stored in the ground, but be sure to harvest them before any heat sets in to prevent bolting which will render the carrrots corky and inedible.

Outstanding Qualities
Small core, improved uniformity Blunt end cylindrical roots & very small core
Superb flavour & colour
Widely adapted to cold conditions

Special varietal requirements
Carrot seeds are tiny and need to be sown shallowly. Keep the top-most layer of soil damp during the long germination period and water deeply prior to planting. Direct sow the tiny seeds 5mm deep, 4 seeds per 2cm, and firm soil lightly after seeding. Make sure the seeds are only just buried. Water the area with the gentlest stream you can provide, and keep it constantly moist until the seeds sprout.
