Summer carrot Nantes 2 BIO De Bolster (2060)

Summer carrot 'Nantes 2' has a sweet taste and has a nice cylindrical root shape. With a wider planting distance, the roots become somewhat thicker.

Sow the seeds directly in the ground. Preferably on raised ridges... Make sure the soil is loosened up nicely. The finer the soil, the better the root can grow straight and long. Keep a row distance of 20 cm. Sow the seeds in rows between your fingers. When the plants emerge, thin out to a planting distance of 20x3 cm. Depending on the desired root thickness, a wider or narrower planting distance can also be maintained. If the planting distance between the roots is greater, the roots will grow faster and the roots will have more room to grow into thicker roots. A smaller planting distance results in thinner carrots.

Problems with the carrot fly are best solved with insect netting; cover fairly soon after emergence. A simple framework/cage works best to keep out the carrot fly.
