Carrot – Flyaway F1 – 500 seeds – 14442

Description

Specially bred to deter carrot fly. Trialled nationally and now trusted by thousands of gardeners. Sweet and tasty Autumn King type with tapered roots.

Outdoors: sow thinly, March-July, where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½”) deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Allow 30cm (1′) between rows. Early sowings may benefit cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Thin by harvesting young carrots evenly from the row, allowing remainder to grow on. Water well until plants are established. Harvest: June-November. Roots can be lifted in autumn. Remove soil and store in dry sand.

Tip: Keep well watered during dry spells as this will help prevent the roots from splitting.
