Suttons Carrot St Valery

A well-known, reliable maincrop carrot producing long, tapering roots. Excellent for late summer eating or storing for winter use. A good choice as well for the large carrot class in the village show.

Sow thinly directly into finely raked, moist, warm soil at a depth of 13mm in rows about 30 apart. Germination takes 15-20 days. For table use, carefully thin the seedlings to 50-75mm between plants. If roots are required for exhibition, wider spacing is recommended. Carrots grow best in a sunny position in soil not recently manured.
Sowing -> Cropping – 20-22 weeks.
Late crops may be stored in sand until required.
