Tape Carrot Nantes 5

Quick and easily grow neat rows of veg.

• Simple and fast.
• 6 metres of tape. 
• Early cropping variety with superb colour and texture.
• Fast-growing cylindrical roots, for full-size or ‘baby’ carrots.
• Sow outdoors, March-July, simply make a ‘drill’ where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½”) deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil.
• For ease, secure one end of the tape with a large stone or cane, roll out the tape into the drill and gently pull tight to straighten.
• Cover tape with fine soil.
• Allow 30cm (1′) between rows.
• Keep moist.
• Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection.
• If necessary, thin by harvesting young carrots evenly from the row.
• Weaker plants can be carefully removed and the small roots used in salads if desired, allowing the remainder to grow on.
• Keep well watered during dry spells, as this will prevent roots from splitting.
• Harvesting: Harvest alternate carrots, leaving other roots to develop.
• Remove soil and store in dry sand.
• Carrots are also ideal for deep freezing.
• Harvest May – October
