Planting & Care
Sow Nantes carrot seeds directly outdoors in early spring or late summer for a fall crop. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in loose, stone-free soil, as carrots need fine soil to develop straight roots. Keep the seedbed consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-20 days. Thin seedlings to 2-3 inches apart once they are a few inches tall to allow proper root development.
Water regularly to maintain even moisture, especially during dry spells. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen, which can cause forked or hairy roots. Harvest when roots reach desired size, usually 65-75 days after sowing. Store harvested carrots in a cool, humid place or refrigerate for extended freshness.
