Plant seeds ¼ inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically takes 10–20 days. Thin seedlings to 2–3 inches apart once they are a few inches tall to allow proper root development. For a continuous harvest, succession plant every 2–3 weeks until midsummer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarrots prefer deep, loose soil free of rocks and clods to prevent forked roots. Water regularly, providing about 1 inch of water per week. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest when roots reach desired size, usually 65–75 days after sowing. Scarlet Nantes carrots can be left in the ground for extended harvest or stored in cool, humid conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e300 Scarlet Nantes carrot seeds (heirloom variety).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835976843574,"sku":"FOLIA2-1449","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6511078220_kj8m.jpg?v=1793096751","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/scarlet-nantes-carrot-seeds-heirloom-variety-300-seeds-for-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
