How to grow Luc's carrot?

Soil maintenance : to avoid forked roots, prefer a deeply worked, light, loose, permeable and pebble-free soil. Easy to cultivate, likes rich soils but is satisfied with poor soils. Likes humidity and heat.

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.
