What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Nantes carrots will grow well in any open, well-cultivated, and deep garden soil.
Planting: Once the soil temperature rises above 7.5°C, sow seeds about 7-15 mm deep in rows spaced 45-60 cm apart. As the seed is quite small, mixing it with some sand when sowing can help with even distribution. Stagger several sowings over the next few weeks for a continuous harvest.
Care: Keep the seedbed evenly moist during the 2-3 week germination period, but avoid soil crusting, as this will greatly reduce the number of seedlings that emerge. Thin the seedlings during the early stages of growth until they are 5 cm apart. Keep the plants evenly watered, weed-free, and avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers. Harvest any time after the carrot roots develop good colour.
