Carrot Mixed – Saanich Organics

Description

Daucus carota

Cant decide which carrots to grow? Weve got you covered with our mixed pack that includes both the stunning Cosmic Purple Carrot and the tasty Scarlet Nantes!

Cosmic Purple Deep purple to reddish skin and classic orange on the inside these carrots really stand out. Stunning bicolour when you grate them over salad or slice them into rounds. They are sweet with just a hint of spice. Developed by Dr. Philipp Simon and staff at the USDA ARS in Madison, Wisconsin in 2005.

Scarlet Nantes A great all round carrot that thrives in different growing conditions. Long, slender, sweet, and crisp with the slightly blunt ends of a nantes type, they are sure to please!

Carrots are difficult to grow for seed here on the coast because they cross with the wild carrot, Queen Annes Lace. So we outsourced this seed from our friend and super seed grower Julie, with Winnow Seed Co in Krestova BC.

70 days to maturity

Direct sow carrots 1/4-1/2 deep April- July. Make sure to keep seeds damp throughout germination which can take up to 3 weeks in cooler temperatures. Thin carrots to 1-2 spacing, with rows 6-12 apart.

Certified organic in British Columbia.
