How to sow and care for your Organic Nantes Carrots
When to sow : early in the spring or late summer for an autumn harvest; plan successive sowings for staggered harvests.
Soil preparation : work a deep, well-loosened soil, ideally without stones, to avoid forked roots.
Sowing : sow in shallow rows (0.5 to 1 cm deep), spaced 20 to 25 cm apart. Lightly cover and tamp down gently.
Thinning : once seedlings are visible, thin to 2 to 4 cm between each plant to encourage well-developed roots.
Maintenance : keep the soil moist but not waterlogged; light mulching and natural pest control against carrot fly with protections or companion planting can help.
Harvest : generally ready between 70 and 90 days after sowing, depending on climate and growing conditions. Harvest when roots have reached the desired size.
Uses and expert tips
Ideal for healthy and quick cooking, the Organic Nantes Carrot lends itself to everything: crunchy sticks for aperitifs, grated in salads, or as a smooth puree to accompany meats and fish. Its robust temperament also makes it an excellent option for pot cultivation on a balcony or terrace, with deep pots of at least 25 cm to allow optimal root development.
Storage and lasting results
Store harvests in a cool, humid place to preserve their color and crunch. Well-stored Nantes carrots remain flavorful for several weeks, offering a practical and sustainable solution for your daily meals.
