Practical Growing Tips

To get the most out of Royal Chantenay carrot seeds:

• Soil preparation : Loosen the soil deeply, remove stones, and avoid compaction. Lightly enrich with mature compost to promote rapid rooting.
• Sowing: Plant seeds 0.5–1 cm deep in rows spaced about 25–30 cm apart. Sow in succession every 2–3 weeks to prolong the harvest.
• Thinning and maintenance: When seedlings reach 2–3 cm, thin to 3–4 cm between each plant to allow roots to develop without competition.
• Watering and mulching: Keep the soil slightly moist without excess and mulch around young plants to limit evaporation and prevent uprooting during rains.
• Harvesting: Allow approximately 70 to 90 days after the first sowing, depending on climatic conditions. Harvest when roots have reached the desired size and before the soil dries out.
