• Roots keep well in the ground
• Ideal for an organic garden

Carrot ‘Nantes 2’ is a fast-growing variety, producing medium-sized sweet crunchy carrots with very little core. It’s ideal for sowing under glass in late winter for an early crop in summer, and the roots keep well in the ground.

Sow outdoors

Sow thinly 1cm deep in shallow prewatered drills, in soil that hasn’t been manured in the last 12 months. Keep soil moist at all times. Protect early sowings with cloche or fleece.

Thin

Thin to 5-8cm apart. Avoid crushing the leaves as the scent attracts carrot root fly.

Advice

Carrots do best on light, stonefree, fertile soils. Use fleece to keep low flying carrot root fly from your crop. Roots store well if cleaned and packed in boxes of dry sand or compost.
