Mr Fothergills Carrot Nantes 5
Description
An extremely popular, well established, early variety. The blunt ended roots have outstanding flavour, producing high quality 'finger' carrots. It’s known as the ‘classic’ carrot and has good uniform roots. Great colour and a crisp texture makes this variety an excellent addition to summer salads.
Outdoors: sow thinly, March-June, where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½") deep, directly into finely-prepared, light, fertile soil, which has already been watered. Allow 30cm (1') between rows. Early sowings may benefit cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Thin by harvesting young carrots evenly, allowing remainder to grow on. Water well until plants are established. Harvest: May-October.
