Carrots are one of the best tasting veg to pick fresh from your garden. Carrot 'Early Nantes 2' will not disappoint it has a lovely sweet flavour and is early maturing being a 2nd early/maincrop variety. It is a blunt end variety that can reach a length of 15cm and has very little core.
It and can be direct sown outside from Feb to June, but early sowings shouldn't be sown until the soil has warmed up. Carrot seeds won't germinate if it is too cold (below 10°C.) A cloche could be used to help warm up the soil.
Carrot 'Early Nantes 2' can be sown under cover from Jan – Feb and then carefully transplanted when carrots measure no longer than 2.5cm, any longer and roots may be damaged.
Sow seed thinly to reduce the need for thinning as carrot-fly are attracted by the sweet smell. It is considered good companion planting to sow rows of carrots in between onions as the smell of the onions puts off the carrot-fly - a lot of onions are required though but worth a try.
Approx 500 seeds per pack.
