Carrots Danvers #6005
(75 days) Daucus carota The original Danvers Half-Long was developed by market gardeners in Massachusetts in 1871. This modern improvement features 7" conical orange roots that taper to a point. Easier to grow in heavy soils than the longer more refined types. Broader at the top and more fibrous than the Nantes varieties. Outstanding for cooking and winter storage.
Certified organic
Sow carrots once soil temp is about 77 degrees F. Seeds must stay moist and take anywhere from 10 to 21 days to germinate so this can be difficult. We have found the best way is to plant seeds shallow and water well and then cover with row cover or even a board for 5 or 6 days to help maintain moist soil and suppress those early weeds. After the first 7 days check ever couple of days to make sure soil does not dry out until seeds germinate.
