Carrot Bangor seeds - Daucus carota

<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><a href="https://en.promessedefleurs.eu/vegetable-gardens/vegetables-by-variety/carrots.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The carrot</a> is a</strong> <strong>root vegetable</strong> widely grown and consumed in France and around the world, though it’s not as consistently present in vegetable gardens as tomatoes are. Yet, the flavour of this famous root often bears no resemblance to shop-bought varieties when lovingly tended by our own hands. Moreover, the vast range of available varieties allows for delightful gastronomic discoveries.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Carrots come in diverse shapes, colours and sizes. Among the best-known varieties is the <strong>‘Nantaise’</strong> carrot, prized for its flavour and ease of cultivation, its only requirement being light soil for optimal growth. Small round carrots like <strong>‘Marché de Paris’</strong> are also highly valued for their taste. Coloured varieties such as <strong>‘Cosmic Purple’</strong> or <strong>‘Blanche de Küttingen’</strong> will add an original touch to your favourite dishes.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Carrots can be grown throughout France – you simply need to find the variety or varieties best suited to your region and soil type. In terms of preferences, <strong>loose, deep, light and rich</strong> soil will satisfy long and half-long carrots, while heavy soil is better suited to small round varieties.<strong><br /> </strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify">Carrots are <strong>sown directly in situ</strong>, from <strong>spring through summer</strong>. The sowing should be relatively <strong>sparse</strong> and carefully monitored throughout the germination period. This is followed by <strong>thinning out</strong> if the seedlings are too crowded. Thereafter, maintenance involves <strong>watering, weeding and mulching</strong> while awaiting harvest.</p> <div id="attachment_39050" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-39050" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-39050 size-full" src="https://www.promessedefleurs.com/blogwp/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/diversité-carotte.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="878" /><p id="caption-attachment-39050" class="wp-caption-text">A wonderful diversity of varieties</p></div>
