Suttons Seeds Carrot Early Nantes 5

A well established, popular variety and that tastes great. Suitable for salads, cooking or freezing. 84 days from sowing to harvest (taken from Sutton’s own trials and may vary in different areas). Sow thinly direct into finely raked, moist, warm soil at a depth of 13mm in rows about 15cm apart. Germination 15-20 days. Pull small carrots for salad use. For larger roots thin the seedlings to 38-50mm between plants. Can also be sown in February in frames or under cloches for early roots. Carrots grow best in a sunny position in well cultivated soil which has not recently been manured. To prevent Carrot Fly damage erect a barrier of horticultural fleece to surround the crop.
