Carrot Chantenay Red Cored

Description:
Highly recommended variety for early maincrop. Stump rooted, excellent colour and texture. Smooth skin, small core and tastes good too! Sow in shallow drills 1-2cm deep with 15cm between rows. The aim is to have seedlings every 4-5cm along the row. Depending on the variety, sowing can start under cloches as early as March for a first picking in June.

Seed Count: 2,000

WHEN TO SOW
March to May
WHERE TO SOW
Sow thinly direct into the growing site 1.5cm (3/4") deep in rows 30cm (2"/3") apart. If possible sow carefully so that thinning is not necessary. Traditionally seed is mixed with fine dry sand to prevent sowing too thickly.
WHAT TO DO NEXT
If you have to thin the seedlings, do so in the evening. Water before thinning and remove all debris. Do not transplant. Aim for roots 4-6 cm (2-3") apart. Young carrots can be pulled alternately to "thin" as you eat.
MATURITY
July onwards
HANDY TIP
A good variety for an early exhibition use, Try making holes with a bar, filling with compost and sowing seed for the large specimen carrots. Try not to grow on freshly manured grounds as this can produce forking of roots.
NUTRITIONAL VALUES
High in antioxidant beta-carotene which converts to vitamin A in the body.
