Carrot Touchon Seeds

Info: The Carrot Variety `Touchon` is a medium-early, productive variety, which can be sown outdoors from March and harvested from July. It is a heirloom variety, which was grown in France before 1880. The medium-length carrots are bright red-orange, tender and crunchy with a sweet, mild flavour. They are suitable for fresh consumption and freezing

Sowing & cultivation: Sow from Febuary under cloches or fleece. Can be sown outdoors as late as August. Sow them as thinly as possible, this reduces the amount of thinning necessary. Mix the seeds with a handful of sharp sand and sow the seeds and sand together. Plants should be kept well watered and carrots prefer a sandy, well-drained soil. Too much nitrogen will cause the carrots to grow hairy little roots all up and down the carrot.
