Carrot Eskimo F1 Seeds Average Seeds 680 Carrot Eskimo F1 Seeds Average Seeds 680

A strong carrot with excellent cold tolerance (can be cropped late and stored, or over-wintered if soil is well drained). High Cavity Spot and Alternaria tolerance. Recommended for deep freezing. RHS Award of Garden Merit winner. This variety trialled, tested and recommended by the National Institute of Agricultural Botany. For early crops sow Amsterdam Forcing or Rocket in frames or under cloches February-March. Start outdoor sowings from early March choosing a warm and well-drained position. For maincrop, sow April-July. Sow into a fine tilth of crumbly earth. Sow seed 1.8cm (¾") deep in drills 23-30cm (9-12") apart. Thin seedlings when the first rough leaves appear, repeating as necessary until plants are 5-7.5cm (2-3") apart. Row 6m (20') or more. Sow thinly to minimise thinning (which can attract Carrot Root Fly). The carrot is a storage organ and hence shop bought produce can be high in pesticide residues - so a good reason to grow your own. HEALTH BENEFITS: Very high in vitamin A (For growth, healthy hair, skin, bones, teeth and eyes as well as resistance to respiratory infections). COOKING HINTS: Unlike many vegetables, the availability of nutrients is actually increased with cooking - as long as not overdone.
