Description

Der Klassiker unter den Wurzelgemüsen: die Karotte. Die Rübe ist das Speicherorgan der Pflanze und variiert je nach Sorte in Form und Farbe (gelb, orange bis violett). Im zweiten Jahr treibt die Karotte aus und bildet einen Blütenstand. Dann verwelkt die Wurzel und ist nicht mehr essbar.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Carrots prefer deep, loose soil with a high humus content and good nutrient supply. Sowing of early and summer carrots should be done as early as possible from mid-February, as germination takes up to 45 days at 5°C. The seedlings grow very slowly and need a lot of attention in the beginning so that they are not overgrown by weeds. It is a good idea to sow one row of radishes next to each row of carrots as a marker seed. After germination, the seedlings should be thinned out.
