Carrot 'Chantenay'

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Chantenay is thought of as hardy, so this plant will survive close to or on freezing temperatures. 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 Chantenay likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 3.9 inches (10.0 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 Chantenay about 14 days before your last frost date.

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

5.5-7" long but thick with diameter upto 3"

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by early summer.
