Product Details: Genus: Daucus Species: Daucus carota (Nantes type - Fine/Slender variety) Hardiness Zone: USDA Zones 4 – 11 (Biennial; hardy to light frosts). Days to Maturity: 55 - 60 days (One of the fastest maturing varieties). Days to Germination: 7 to 14 days (Optimal soil temp: 55°F - 75°F). Seeding Depth: ¼ inch (0.6 cm). Row Spacing: 12 inches (30 cm). Plant Height: Foliage grows 12 – 16 inches (30-40 cm) tall; roots are 6 – 8 inches (15-20 cm) long. Growth Habit: Upright, feathery green foliage with a deep taproot that swells into a long, slender, slightly tapered orange root vegetable. Soil Preference: Deep, loose, sandy-loam, well-draining soil, free of stones and clods. pH 5.8 – 6.8. Temperature Preference: Cool weather. Best performance at 55°F - 70°F (12°C - 21°C). Tolerates light frosts. Light Preference: Full Sun (minimum 6 hours of direct sunlight) to light afternoon shade. How to Plant & Grow: Site Preparation: Carrots need deep, loose, and rock-free soil. They will fork and twist if they hit rocks or hard clay. Work the soil at least 10 inches (25 cm) deep, remove all stones, and mix in 2-3 inches of well-aged compost. Sowing: Direct sow seeds outdoors in early spring (2-3 weeks before the last frost) or in late summer for a fall crop. Plant seeds ¼ inch (0.6 cm) deep and cover lightly with fine soil. Keep the seedbed consistently moist until germination (7-14 days). Spacing: For Straight, Slender Roots: After seedlings emerge and reach 2 inches tall, thin them to 2 inches (5 cm) apart in rows spaced 12 inches (30 cm) apart. Proper thinning is crucial for them to grow straight and uniform Square Foot Gardening (SFG): Plant 16 carrots per 1-square-foot area (4 rows x 4 rows, spaced 2-3 inches apart). Watering: Consistent moisture is essential. Provide 1 inch of water per week. Fluctuating moisture will cause the roots to split. Keep them well-watered for the sweetest, most tender roots. Harvesting: These are baby/snacking carrots; do not let them get too thick! When the tops of the roots show above the soil and are about the thickness of a finger (usually 55-60 days), gently loosen the soil with a fork and pull them up. Gardener's Tip: Don't throw away those beautiful green tops! Carrot tops (greens) are edible and make a wonderful pesto, chimichurri, or addition to salads. They have a fresh, slightly earthy flavor. Planting Calendar: Early Spring Crop: Direct Sow: Early March to Mid-April (as soon as soil can be worked). Harvest: May to June. Fall Crop (Sweeter, Better Quality): Direct Sow: Mid-July to Early August. Harvest: September to October. Mild Winter Zones (USDA 9-11): Can be sown from October to January for a winter crop.
