Plantation:
Sow directly in the open ground from mid-May to a depth of 5 mm. Space the rows 15 cm apart and thin the plants to 2 cm in the row to allow optimal root development. This carrot variety prefers loose, fresh and well-drained soil, with a slightly acidic pH. Avoid transplanting, as this could harm root growth.
Growing Tips:
Keep the soil moist, but not too moist, to prevent cracking of the roots. Rotate crops to reduce the risk of disease and combine with companion plants to maximize growth. Protect young plants from pests with an insect barrier.
Harvest and use:
Harvest carrots when they are at their optimum size and colour. Eat them fresh or store them in a cool, dry place to prolong their shelf life. These sweet and crunchy carrots are ideal for any recipe or as a healthy snack.
