Cultivation method:
Sow seeds in early May for an early harvest, mid-June for a fall harvest, or early July for tender, late-season carrots. Plant 6mm deep, space rows 40cm apart, then thin to 5cm once they have developed a few leaves. Choose rich, loose, well-drained soil that is free of rocks to promote optimal root development.
Lightly hill up the soil around the plants to prevent sunscald and to prevent greening of the crown. Maintain consistent moisture for uniform growth and tender roots. Combine this variety with companion plants such as leeks or radishes for a harmonious and productive crop.
Harvest carrots when their roots are 14 to 18 cm long and their color is bright orange. Young carrots can be harvested earlier for an even more tender taste. Versatile, this variety is perfect in salads or cooked in a variety of dishes, enriching your meals all year round.
Add organic 'Napoli' carrot to your vegetable garden for easy growing and abundant, tasty and nutritious harvests.
