CARROT (Baby Chantenay) Cascade F1

Sowing Guide - Outdoors: Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 1.5cm (1/2") deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Allow 30cm (1') between rows. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Thin by harvesting young carrots evenly from the row, allowing remainder to grow on. Water well until plants are established. Regular sowings made every three weeks will ensure a continuous supply of young roots. 'Baby' carrots are best lifted when 5cm (2") long, mature roots can be lifted in autumn. Remove soil and store in dry sand.
