Description
This wonderful early maturing variety of carrot really is a favourite and rightfully so due to the ease and speed of growing and of course, the delectable sweet taste and crunchy texture. You can expect ‘Adelaide’ carrots to appear from late January to early November, producing golden orange carrots - ideal for growing in cloches and cold frames!Direct sow carrot seed outdoors, in a weed free, sunny position in fertile, light, well-drained soil. Carrots dislike freshly manured soils so seed beds are best prepared in autumn, well in advance of spring sowings.Sow carrot seeds thinly at a depth of 1cm (½in) in drills 30cm (12") apart. Germination will take 10 to 20 days. When large enough to handle, thin out the seedlings within each row to 5cm (2") apart. Where space is limited, growing carrots in containers will also produce a worthwhile crop.Water well to encourage germination. Once germinated, carrots should be watered only when necessary to keep the soil moist as excessive water may encourage leaf growth instead of roots. During growth, the carrot roots may be earthed up to prevent green crowns developing.Product Specifications:Position: Full sunHeight: Up to 30cm (11.8in) when fully establishedSpread: Up to 15cm (5.9in) when fully establishedSupplied as 1 packet of 400 seedsDelivered with growing and care instructionsImages shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
