Carrot

250+ seeds

"Paris Market Atlas"

A much improved cultivar of the Paris Market type of carrot with almost round roots. Excellent colour and flavour and perfect for container growing, or for those with shallow soils, due to its shallow rooting. Although an early variety, it can also be used as a second early or maincrop.

>Get the soil conditions correct and
carrots are one of the easiest vegetables to grow in the cooler
climates. Incorrect soil conditions lead to mis-shapen carrots -
these may well cause a chuckle when dug up, but they are not so well
appreciated at cooking time! Carrots prefer a light soil which has
been improved with lots of well-rotted organic material fully dug
into the soil. Carrots grown on heavy soil, or where organic material
is not well-rotted, will become misshapen and grow 'forked. Stones in
the soil will have the same bad effect. Prepare the bed two weeks or
so before planting, forking in a handful of bonemeal for each square
meter (yard). Ensure that the soil is dug to a spade's depth and is
of a crumbly texture.


Using a trowel, dig out narrow drills
2cm (3/4inch) deep and 12cm (8inches) apart. Carrot seed is fine -
the easiest way to sow is to empty some seed from the packet into the
palm of your left hand and and take small pinches of seed with your
right hand fingers, dropping a couple of seeds every 2.5cm (1 inch)
along the narrow drills. Sow the seed thinly to avoid too much
thinning out later. Cover the seeds with fine soil very gently
firming it down. Water with a fine spray if the conditions are dry.
The seedlings should start to appear 15 to 20 days later
