Carrot Chantenay Red Cored VALUE PACK

(Daucus carota)

This value pack contains a full 15g of seeds for those who have a larger-than-usual garden, or who prefer to buy their seed in the traditional way. Chantenay Red Cored is a first class, early maturing maincrop variety which produces stump rooted, richly coloured carrots. It has a fine texture and keeps well. Grows well in an open position on light, rich soil which has not been recently manured.

When to plant: Winter through to Autumn.
How to grow: Thinly drop seeds 6mm (quarter-inch) deep in rows 30cm (1ft) apart. Keep moist. Repeat every two weeks for continuous crops. Thin out to 10cm (4in) apart and water well to replace any soil dislodged from roots. Add a complete fertiliser before sowing.
Harvest: Start early to spread the harvest.
