Daucus, Carrot Chantenay 'Royal' Organic Heirloom
- Sun Preference
- Full-Sun
Description
Thick, tapered 6-7″ roots are perfect for heavy soil. You can grow two or three crops of this carrot in a normal season and over-winter the last one right in the ground with a light mulch. Sweet and delicious.
Sow outdoors in very early spring in full sun and loose, evenly moist soil with plenty of organic matter. Before planting, loosen the soil to a depth of 8″ to help the roots grow straight. Be patient! Carrots can be slow to germinate. Loosen the soil with a garden fork before harvesting. Cut off the green tops 1/4-1/2″ from the top of the carrot, and rinse and dry the root before storage.
