Carrot Nantes Seeds (Early)

Carrots are a bit of an outlier among the leafy crops in this batch — you're growing a root, not a leaf, so the real action is happening underground while a thin tuft of feathery foliage sits on top. That makes them a good pick if you want variety in a container garden beyond salad greens, though patience matters more here than with something like spinach. Sow just 0.5 cm deep and expect the slowest germination in this range — 10-14 days — so resist the urge to re-sow too early. Seedlings only need 5-8 cm between them once thinned, which is tight compared to the leafy crops, reflecting how narrow each root actually grows. With 5-6 hours of sun and evenly moist soil kept up through the season, harvest falls between 70 and 90 days from sowing.
