Daucus carota 'Chantenay red cored 2'

The Chantenay red cored 2 is a stocky, wedge shaped carrot with a small core.

Sow
thinly where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½in) deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Allow 30cm (1ft) between rows.

Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days.

Regular sowings made every three weeks will ensure a continuous supply of young roots.

Thinning
Thing by harvesting young carrots evenly from the row, allowing remainder to grow on.

Aftercare
Water well until plants are established.

Harvesting
Roots can be lifted in autumn. Remove soil and store in dry sand.
