Johnsons - Carrot Nantes 5 - 1500 Seeds

A very vigorous early variety with straight, cylindrical blunt-ended roots and very little core. Strong tops make harvesting the roots easier. For outdoor sowing
When March to July.
Where In a prepared seed bed.
How Sow thinly in rows 25cm apart. Cover lightly with 1.5cm of fine soil. Firm gently and keep moist. Seedlings appear 14-21 days. For continuous crops sow every 2-3 weeks.
Care When harvesting, select alternate young carrots from the row, allowing the remainder to develop fully. No other thinning is needed if sown thinly. Keep well watered to prevent the roots splitting. Keep weed free at all times. Protect early sowings with cloches.
Harvest May to November. Lift remainder in October or November, remove soil from roots and store in dry sand. Harvest first carrots when finger sized and sweet and succulent.
