Plant seeds 1\/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically takes 10-21 days. Thin seedlings to 2-3 inches apart to allow proper root development. For best results, remove stones and clumps from the soil before planting to prevent forked roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly to maintain even moisture, especially during dry spells. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest when roots reach desired size, usually 65-75 days after sowing. Red Cored Chantenay carrots can be left in the ground for a short period after maturity without becoming woody.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e300 Red Cored Chantenay Carrot seeds (Daucus carota).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835976778038,"sku":"FOLIA2-1447","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6571163513_9p07.jpg?v=1793096745","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/300-red-cored-chantenay-carrot-seeds-sweet-crisp-heirloom-daucus-carota","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
