Imperator 58 Carrot Seeds – Non-GMO Heirloom

a sweet, crisp bite and fine flavor. Given deep, loose soil and a little patience, they reward you with the kind of beautiful, snackable carrots that make gardening worthwhile. Who it's for For gardeners with deep, loose beds who love a classic, sweet carrot. Imperator types grow long, so they do best in raised beds or well-worked soil, and their crisp sweetness makes them a favorite for fresh eating and snacking straight from the garden. How & when to plant Sow the seeds directly, since carrots do not transplant, planting them about a quarter inch deep in deep, stone-free soil in full sun during cool weather. Keep the surface evenly moist, as carrots germinate slowly, often over 14 to 21 days, then thin the seedlings to about 2 to 3 inches apart. Our Imperator 58 Carrot growing guide has the details. Growing & care Loose, deep soil is everything for long carrots, so work the bed well and remove stones before sowing. Water steadily so the roots grow straight and sweet without splitting, keep the seedlings weed-free, and cover any exposed shoulders with soil to prevent green tops. Harvest Begin harvesting once the carrots reach a good size, usually around 68 to 75 days. Loosen the soil before pulling so the long roots come up whole, and remember that a touch of frost makes them even sweeter. Lift them gently to avoid snapping. Benefits & uses Imperator 58 carrots are made for fresh eating: crisp, sweet, and perfect for snacking, salads, and crudites. They are equally good roasted, steamed, or added to soups and stews, and their long, elegant shape makes them a showpiece of the vegetable garden.
