Carrot Amsterdam Forcing 3 Seeds Average Seeds 1650

Carrot Amsterdam Forcing 3 Seeds Average Seeds 1650

The earliest variety for protected or outdoor sowings.

Medium length, high quality, blunt-ended roots.

Sow fortnightly crops from spring to autumn.

Row 15m (50').

Recommended for deep freezing.

Award of Garden Merit.

For early crops sow Amsterdam Forcing or Rocket in frames or under cloches February-March.

Start outdoor sowings from early March choosing a warm and well-drained position.

For maincrop, sow April-July.

Sow into a fine tilth of crumbly earth.

Sow seed 1.8cm (¾") deep in drills 23-30cm (9-12") apart.

Thin seedlings when the first rough leaves appear, repeating as necessary until plants are 5-7.5cm (2-3") apart.

Row 6m (20') or more.

Sow thinly to minimise thinning (which can attract Carrot Root Fly). The carrot is a storage organ and hence shop bought produce can be high in pesticide residues - so a good reason to grow your own.

HEALTH BENEFITS: Very high in vitamin A (For growth, healthy hair, skin, bones, teeth and eyes as well as resistance to respiratory infections).

COOKING HINTS: Unlike many vegetables, the availability of nutrients is actually increased with cooking - as long as not overdone.
