How to grow blood red carrots?

Soil care: to avoid forked roots, prefer a deeply tilled, light, loose, permeable and pebble-free soil.

Exposure: sunny.

Sowing : 0,5 cm deep in the ground. Thin out to leave only one plant every 4 cm, 35 cm between rows.

Emergence: in 12 to 15 days.

Watering: carrots appreciate copious watering, especially during the first months of cultivation. Remember to mulch to keep the soil moist. Excessive watering before harvesting causes poor conservation. Carrots become hard, fibrous and small in size if watering is not sufficient.

Harvesting : 3 months after sowing. Stagger your sowings in order to spread out the harvest.

Conservation: they can be stored dry in sand (in cool, dry and ventilated places: cellar). For that to cut the foliage with the level of the collar.

Origin : the wild ancestor of the carrot comes from Iran. The cultivated carrot is present in all the temperate zones of the world.
