Deservedly well-known, rich, orange/red-fleshed carrot, crisp and sweet. Carrot Supreme Chantenay Red Cored is excellent for a very early and successional sowing. Described as an intermediate, stump-rooted variety.

Sowing Instructions

Carrots prefer a deep, rich well drained soil which does not contain fresh manure or compost. Sow seeds spring to mid summer in drills 1cm (½in) deep, spaced 30cm (12in) apart.

Growing Instructions

As soon as the seedlings are large enough to handle, start thinning them out so that they are finally 10cm (4in) apart.

Aftercare

The last thinnings should provide trender roots just large enough to be used. Harvest late summer and autumn.
