{"product_id":"little-finger-carrot-60-days","title":"Little Finger Carrot (60 Days)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Little Finger Carrot is an excellent choice for succession plantings. Carrots are about the size of your index finger (about 3 1\/2” long) and not tapered much at all, like a Nantes. Plant quite densely, 20-25 seeds per square foot. Little Finger Carrot also does great in containers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e300 seeds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(50, 113, 56);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePLANTING\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDaucus carota\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6-14 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination Temperature:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOptimum soil temperatures 60-85\u003cb\u003eº\u003c\/b\u003eF.

Sow lightly, thin to 1-3” apart. The larger the carrot variety, the more space needed between them. The soil moisture should be maintained regularly until germination; letting the soil dry out during this period may result in lower germination.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow much does a packet plant:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10-12 foot row\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Start when carrots reach finger size for baby carrots. Carrots planted for summer harvest will hold in the ground for a few weeks, but tend to split if they stay in the ground too long. Late season carrots hold longer and become sweeter in the cooler weather.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTips:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Using a row cover helps to maintain moisture for germination. The Little Finger Carrot prefers a loose soil, free of rubble. Use the shorter varieties for heavy soils. Keep well weeded and cover any exposed carrot with soil or mulch to prevent greening. An excess of nitrogen in the soil causes the roots to become hairy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pinetree Garden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":440962973704,"sku":"00073","price":2.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/6282\/files\/little-finger-carrot-60-days-vegetables-pinetree-garden-seeds-763.jpg?v=1763393455","url":"https:\/\/www.superseeds.mom\/products\/little-finger-carrot-60-days","provider":"Pinetree Garden Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
