I planted my nantes seeds 7 march 2011 despite the cold ( i am very eager to get going!) - and am delighted to find they have come through already, early april. I also had the same results with my bolthardy beetroot seeds. This is only my second year on my allotment- last year was spent killing weeds and digging/making raised beds, so not a lot actually was grown because the plot was neglected so. However, Marshalls seeds were recommended to me by my adjoining neighbour and so,far, she seems to be spot on! I can't wait to get started on the rest of my veg - watch this space!

Standard packet

Long cylindrical roots, sweet flavour.

Sow Outdoors: February-August thinly ½in (1cm) deep in shallow pre-watered drills, in soil that hasn't been manured in the last 12 months. Keep soil moist at all times. (Protect early sowings with cloche or fleece).

Thin Out: 2-3in (5-8cm) apart. Avoid crushing the leaves as the scent attracts carrot root fly.

Harvest:June-November

Carrots do best on light, stone free, fertile soils.

Surround the carrot bed with a barrier of fleece at least 60cm high to keep low flying carrot root fly from your crop.

Good for freezing
