CARROT - NANTES

Dausus carota

This variety is a succulent cigar-shaped, bright
orange, French variety. It is not seen in commercial
market much as these roots are too brittle for
machine harvesting. . It is a great strain with
consistently high quality taste. The roots are
bright orange, cylindrical with a slight tapered
point, and they average 15 cm in length. They have
a sweet, crisp flavour and produce medium sized
tops. Warm zones can sow seed in almost any
month of the year, although mid-summer sowing
are often avoided. The best months to sow in
temperate zones are July through to March and in
cold districts August to February. Deep sandy soil
or heavy soils with good structure allow roots to
grow and expand quickly. Direct sow by marking
out shallow furrows 20 - 30 cm apart and sow
seed 6mm deep. Cover the seed with vermiculite
or seed raising mix. Water gently and keep moist.
