Nantes has mid length strong smooth roots with a good colour, texture and flavour. It really is one of the best long sowing season choices (start seeds in succession every 2-3 weeks for a continuous supply). Blunt ended so very little waste once in the kitchen.
Price for 150 seeds
This variety is part of our naturally nurtured range, the seed comes from an organic source
SOW: 10mm deep from March to August (dig the soil well first & sow sparingly to avoid the need for too much thinning). Sowing in early spring before mid-March (warm the soil with the cloches) or after late June can help avoid carrot fly trouble.
GROW: keep moist and weed free – they don’t like the competition. Nantes can be harvested from May to October (after 8-12 weeks growing time).
EAT: enjoy the flavour when pulled fresh from the garden. Can be stored in a poly bag in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. To Freeze - slice or dice larger carrots, freeze baby carrots whole, blanch for 3 minutes, plunge in cold water, drain and pack into convenient sized potions.
