Growing Information

Planting

  • Sow seeds directly into loose, stone-free soil to encourage straight, well-shaped roots.
  • Plant seeds in shallow rows and cover lightly, as carrots require light soil contact to germinate well.
  • Space rows to allow plants to reach their mature size of roughly 10–12 inches tall with a narrow spread.
  • Keep the seedbed evenly moist until sprouting occurs, which may take up to three weeks.
  • For continuous harvests, sow successive plantings every two to three weeks throughout the cool season.

Maintenance

  • Keep soil consistently moist through early growth to promote uniform root development.
  • Thin seedlings gradually to maintain proper spacing and reduce competition among maturing roots.
  • Weed regularly to ensure unrestricted carrot growth, as shallow roots compete poorly with weeds.
  • Mulching helps regulate soil temperature and retains moisture during warm weather.

Harvest & Storage

  • Scarlet Nantes carrots reach maturity in about 70 days and should be harvested once roots reach their full 6-inch length.
  • Carrots lift most easily when soil is loosened around the root before pulling.
  • Allow harvested roots to dry briefly before storing to extend shelf life and maintain crispness.
  • Store unwashed carrots in a cool, high-humidity environment to preserve texture and flavor.
  • This variety keeps well for extended periods when properly cured and refrigerated.
