Carrot Parano F1 Seeds Average Seeds 520 Carrot Parano F1 Seeds Average Seeds 520

Very early bunching carrot giving quality, smooth skinned cylindrical roots of delicious flavour, ideal for salad use. Good resistance to Carrot Fly. RHS Award of Garden Merit winner. For early crops sow Amsterdam Forcing or Rocket in frames or under cloches February-March. Start outdoor sowings in early March as weather conditions allow, choosing a warm and well-drained position. For maincrop, sow April-July. Before sowing, work the soil 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'). 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.
