CARROT CIDERA
A late “Nanto” variety that produces large, delicious, vibrant orange roots. Suitable for juicing, canning, fresh consumption and storing over winter. Roots are 21–23 cm long with a blunt end. The core is small and round with orange flesh. Roots are not prone to cracks. Grows best in well- cultivated, hummus-rich, light loam or sandy soil. Carrots are sown again in the same place no sooner than after 4-5 years.
Seed tape advantages: larger, better quality harvests. With adequate moisture, seeds germinate more quickly and evenly. Before laying the tapes, water the soil. Then cover the tape with soil and water abundantly.
A 4 m long tape can yield about 350 high–quality root crops or a harvest of 30–40 kg.
