Carrot Chantenay Red Cored

A small variety with a superb flavour and is particularly sweet when harvested as baby carrots. Well suited to growing in bags or where space is limited. Sow March-May and harvest July onwards. Try growing carrots with leeks or spring onions to deter carrot fly.

Sow April-July direct in to the soil in drills 2cm deep and rows 30cm apart.

Try to sow as thinly as you can to avoid having to pull up seedlings which can attract carrot fly. You want to try to have carrots about 5cm apart. You can pull alternate carrots early and have as baby carrots then leaving the rest to grow on to mature size at the correct spacing 

Harvest June-November
