1000 KURODA SHIN Carrot Seeds Heirloom - Non-GMO

Description: 1000 KURODA SHIN Carrot Seeds Heirloom - Non-GMO - Always Fresh Seed! A Chantenay-type carrot, the Shin Kuroda variety grows to approximately 5" long and has finely textured green foliage. Shin Kuroda carrot seeds will germinate in soil as low as 40 degrees F and the carrots can tolerate a light frost, so the seeds can be directly sown into the garden 2 to 4 weeks before your last frost date for the earliest harvest. Succession planting is recommended for a continuous harvest throughout the growing season. It can take 1 to 3 weeks before the seeds germinate, depending on soil temperature and moisture levels. The warmer the soil, the faster the seeds will germinate, and the soil should be kept evenly moist. As a root crop, 5" Shin Kuroda carrots prefer soil that is evenly moist and well-draining. The soil only needs a moderate level of nitrogen, as too much nitrogen may cause forking. To achieve the best-looking carrots, the soil should also be loose and free from stones. Because carrots do not like competition from weeds, they grow very well in raised beds and containers as long as the soil is deep enough. About 12" to 18" deep should be sufficient for the 5" Shin Kuroda carrot. ***CARROT GROWING GUIDE BELOW*** *** ()*** Max shipping fee is $4.29.

CARROT GROWING GUIDE Carrots are a popular root vegetable that are easy to grow in sandy soil. They are resistant to most pests and diseases, and are a good late season crop that can tolerate frost. Not all carrots are orange; varieties vary in color from purple to white. PLANTING Plan to plant seeds outdoors 3 to 5 weeks before the last spring frost date. Plant seeds 1/4" deep. Make sure your soil is free of stones; carrots need deeply tilled soil that they can push through. Have you ever seen a carrot that has grown “legs” or forked? Fresh manure, or even recently applied rotted manure, can cause carrots to fork and send out little side roots. Don’t use it before you plant your seeds. Plant seeds 3-4 inches apart in rows. Rows should be at least a foot apart. PLANT CARE Gently mulch to retain moisture, speed germination and block the sun from the roots. Soil should be well drained and loose to prevent forking and stunting of the root growth. Once plants are an inch tall, thin so they stand 3 inches apart. Snip them with scissors instead of pulling them out to prevent damage to the roots of remaining plants. Water at least one inch per week. Weed diligently. Fertilize 5-6 weeks after sowing. Carrots taste much better after a couple of frosts. Following the first hard frost in the fall, cover carrot rows with an 18-inch layer of shredded leaves to preserve them for harvesting later. PESTS/DISEASES Carrot Fly Wireworms Flea Beetles Aster Yellow Disease will cause shortened and discolored carrot tops and hairy roots. This disease is spread by pests as they feed from plant to plant. Keep weeds down and invest in a control plan for pests such as leafhoppers. This disease has the ability to overwinter. HARVEST/STORAGE Carrots are mature at around 2 ½ months and ½ inch in diameter. You may harvest whenever desired maturity is reached. You may leave mature carrots in the soil for storage if the ground will not freeze. To store freshly harvested carrots, twist off the tops, scrub off the dirt under cold running water, let dry and seal in airtight plastic bags, and refrigerate. If you simply put fresh carrots in the refrigerator, they’ll go limp in a few hours. Carrots can be stored in tubs of moist sand for winter use.
