Growing Tips:
-
Planting: Sow seeds directly in the garden 2-3 weeks before the last expected frost. Plant seeds ¼ inch deep, spacing them 1-2 inches apart in rows 12-18 inches apart. Thin seedlings to 3 inches apart for optimal root development.
-
Sunlight: Nantes Coreless Scarlet carrots thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Partial shade is tolerated but may slow growth.
-
Soil: Plant in loose, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Carrots prefer a soil pH between 6.0 and 6.8. Ensure the soil is free of rocks and debris to prevent misshapen roots.
-
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Regular, deep watering encourages even root growth and helps prevent cracking.
-
Fertilizing: Use a balanced organic fertilizer to support growth. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers to prevent excess foliage at the expense of root development.
Harvesting Tips:
-
When to Harvest: Harvest Nantes Coreless Scarlet carrots when they reach 6-7 inches in length, typically 65-75 days after sowing. The roots should be firm, vibrant orange, and tender.
-
How to Harvest: Gently loosen the soil around the roots with a garden fork before pulling them up to avoid breaking the carrots. Rinse off the soil immediately after harvest.
