Product Description
We love eating carrots raw and the purple, washed vermilion roots of Carrot 'Purple Haze' are beautiful served as a plate of veg crudites with radishes, fennel and sugar snaps to dip into hummus, tzatziki or any other pate.
- Seeds: 300
| Sowing: | Sow in gutters in March or wait until the soil has warmed up and sow direct April - July. Germination is poor in cold soil. Sow as thinly as possible, in a 6in/15cm strip, not a single line. This reduces the need for thinning and the associated problems with carrot fly. Can also sow this variety earlier inside, 3-4 seeds per module or 1 whole pack into guttering, and plant out, without thinning in mid spring. Easy germination, particularly if you garden on light soil |
| Final Thinning/Planting Distance: | 2-3cm. Fleece soon after germination to discourage carrot root fly |
| Harvesting: | 8-10 weeks from sowing. July-November |
| Storing: | On a light soil, carrots are best left in the ground. Even after the frosts, leave them where they are, covering them with a thick layer of straw. On a heavy soil, dig them up and store. |
