Carrot 'Nelson'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Nelson is thought of as very hardy, so this plant will tend to survive through freezing conditions. Ideally plant in loamy and sandy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 6.5 as Nelson likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.23 inches (0.6 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Nelson about 14 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Nelson is a very hardy plant.
