CARROT Early Nantes 5

An excellent variety for early and successional crops producing uniform blunt-ended roots. The flavour is outstanding. Grows well in any open position on a light, rich soil which has not been recently manured. Ideal for deep freezing.

To Sow and Grow; Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 1.5cm (1/2) deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Allow 30cm (1) between rows. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Thin by harvesting young carrots evenly from the row, allowing remainder to grow on. Water well until plants are established. Regular sowings made every three weeks will ensure a continuous supply of young roots.
