Thompson & Morgan

Start your growing journey with vibrant, sweet carrots from the Thompson and Morgan Carrot Chantenay Red Cored 3 Supreme Seeds that thrive in sunny, well-drained soil and reward you with crisp, colourful roots from early summer. Carrot 'Chantenay Red Cored 3 Supreme' seeds offer gardeners an easy, reliable crop, perfect for both ground and container growing, with a delicious flavour ideal for fresh eating or storage. With up to 1,500 seeds in the packet, you'll enjoy a generous harvest and the flexibility to sow early or successionally for a steady supply. Sow carrot seeds thinly at a depth of one centimetre in drills 30cm apart. Germination will take 10 to 20 days. When large enough to handle, thin out the seedlings within each row to five centimetres apart. Where space is limited, growing carrots in containers will also produce a worthwhile crop. Early maturing varieties: Early varieties of carrot seed can be sown under cloches in March, or outdoors from April to July. Maincrop varieties: Should be sown outdoors from April to June. Forcing varieties: Some varieties are suitable for forcing to produce an early crop. These can be sown under glass from November to February. Water well to encourage germination. Once germinated, carrots should be watered only when necessary to keep the soil moist, as excessive water may encourage leaf growth instead of roots. During growth, the carrot roots may be earthed up to prevent green crowns from developing. Cover later carrot sowings with fleece or fine netting, and remove all thinning from the site to minimise carrot fly infestation. Early varieties may be lifted when required from nine weeks onwards, while maincrops can be harvested from 12 weeks after their sowing date. Pull a single carrot first to assess the size of the roots. If the soil is dry, lifting carrots can be made easier by watering beforehand. Roots can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to four months. Product Specifications: Height: up to 30cm. Spread: Up to 15cm. Position: Full sun.
