A trio of exceptional varieties for all gardeners

Its tender and sweet flesh delights young and old alike. The Goldnugget Carrot surprises with its bright golden yellow color and mild flavor, perfect for bringing originality to your dishes.

Technical characteristics and seed quality

Each packet contains certified high germination seeds selected according to Multitanks quality standards. The Paris Market Round Carrot has a growing cycle of 90 to 100 days, with roots 4 to 6 cm in diameter. Its compact shape allows dense planting and easy harvesting. The Goldnugget Carrot, an early variety, reaches maturity in 80 to 90 days and develops cylindrical roots 15 to 18 cm long.

The Color Mix combines varieties with different cycles (75 to 110 days) to spread out harvests. All these varieties tolerate temperatures from -2°C to -5°C and adapt to French temperate climates. Seeds maintain their germination power for 3 years under good storage conditions (dry and cool place).

These heritage carrots show excellent natural resistance to common diseases and remarkable adaptation to various soils, from sandy to loamy.

Simplified sowing, cultivation and maintenance

Sowing is done from March to July depending on regions, in rows or broadcast on finely prepared soil. Draw furrows 1 cm deep spaced 25 cm apart. Sow thinly to avoid excessive thinning. Cover lightly and press gently. Emergence occurs in 10 to 15 days depending on soil temperature.

Thinning is done when plants reach 2-3 cm in height, keeping one plant every 3-4 cm for long varieties and every 2-3 cm for Paris Market Round. Regular but moderate watering promotes uniform development. Avoid excess water which causes root splitting.

Regular hoeing keeps soil loose and limits weed competition. Light mulch can be applied to conserve moisture and facilitate maintenance.

Expert tips and beneficial associations

To optimize your results, associate your carrots with radishes which break the surface crust and facilitate emergence. Onions and leeks naturally repel carrot fly, the main pest. Avoid proximity to dill and coriander which can inhibit growth.

A professional tip is to make successive sowings every 3 weeks from April to July to extend the harvest period. The colorful varieties in the mix retain their pigments better when harvested young.

For urban gardens, these varieties adapt perfectly to deep planters of minimum 30 cm. Paris Market Round excels particularly in this type of cultivation. Enrich your collection with multicolored radish seeds or heritage beets available at Multitanks to create an exceptional vegetable garden.

In autumn, carrots can remain in the ground under protective cover and be harvested as needed until the first severe frosts.
