Item description

Danvers Half Long Scarlet Nantes Carrot Seeds ? Sweet, Heirloom ? Easy to Grow! Danvers Half Long Scarlet Nantes Carrot Seeds **Latin Name:** *Daucus carota subsp. sativus* #### **Description** This trio of classic heirloom carrots offers a range of shapes, flavors, and growing benefits, making them ideal for home gardeners and market growers alike. - **Royal Chantenay:** A stout, conical carrot with a deep orange color. It grows **4?5 inches (10?13 cm)** long and **2 inches (5 cm) wide**, with a short, strong top. This variety is known for its **excellent flavor and storage capabilities**. - **Danvers Half Long:** A medium-sized, tapered carrot, reaching **6?7 inches (15?18 cm)** in length. It features **fine-grained, richly flavored orange flesh** and strong, upright **dark green tops**, making it easy to harvest. - **Scarlet Nantes:** A **cylindrical**, smooth-skinned carrot growing **6?7 inches (15?18 cm)** long. It has **sweet, crisp, and nearly coreless flesh**, perfect for fresh eating or juicing. All three varieties are **cool-season biennials grown as annuals**, with a **moderate growth rate**, typically maturing in **65?75 days**. They have **delicate, fern-like green foliage** and a **compact to medium growth habit**, making them well-suited for **raised beds, containers, and garden plots**. #### **Origin Interesting Facts** Carrots are believed to have originated in **Persia (modern-day Iran and Afghanistan)**, where wild ancestors were first cultivated for their aromatic leaves and seeds rather than their roots. - **Danvers Half Long** was bred in **Danvers, Massachusetts, USA**, in the 19th century for **excellent yield and adaptability**. - **Scarlet Nantes** hails from **Nantes, France**, and is known for its **exceptionally sweet, tender roots** with minimal core development. Carrots are **rich in beta-carotene, fiber, and antioxidants**, making them a nutritious and flavorful addition to any diet. #### **How to Grow from Seed** 1. **Timing:** Direct sow outdoors **2?4 weeks before the last frost** in spring, or in **late summer to fall** for a fall harvest. 2. **Soil Prep:** Loose, well-draining soil with **pH 6.0?6.8**; avoid rocky or compacted soils. 3. **Sowing Depth Spacing:** Plant seeds **OE inch (6 mm) deep** and **1?2 inches (2.5?5 cm) apart** in rows **12?18 inches (30?45 cm) apart**. 4. **Germination:** Carrots are slow to sprout, taking **10?21 days**. Keep soil **consistently moist** for even germination. 5. **Thinning:** Once seedlings are **2 inches (5 cm) tall**, thin them to **1?2 inches apart** to prevent overcrowding. #### **Garden Care** - **Watering:** Keep soil evenly **moist but not waterlogged**, especially during germination. Avoid heavy watering that can lead to **cracking**. - **Fertilizing:** Use a **low-nitrogen fertilizer** to encourage root development. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which leads to **leafy tops instead of roots**. - **Weeding:** Hand-weed carefully to avoid disturbing the shallow roots. - **Harvesting:** Begin harvesting at **maturity (65?75 days)** or when roots reach the desired size. Carrots can be **left in the ground** for extended storage in cooler weather. =s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s==s=s Free shipping to Canada- and USA Selected seeds only Add this item to your cart and keep shopping-- at https://www.ebay.ca/usr/okiger-2i55iwk =s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s==s=s=s=s=s=s=s= Shipping of Seeds and Cuttings: Orders are shipped via Canada Post Mail unless otherwise specified.
