A short, fat carrot with a very attractive smooth orange skin. About 5 1\/2” long, it rarely splits or forks, even in heavy soil. We like it’s hard, crunchy, dense texture and full-bodied flavor which is sweet and complex. The Red Cored Chantenay Carrot is an improvement on the original French import.  This variety was introduced by Ferry Morse in 1930. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e300 seeds\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. The cooler the soil the longer it takes for germination, up to 3 weeks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeed Sowing Depth:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1\/4” deep\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSowing Outdoors:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStart 3 weeks before last frost into mid-summer.

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 Red Cored Chantenay 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 cause the roots to become hairy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pinetree Garden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":440963694600,"sku":"00074","price":2.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/6282\/files\/red-cored-chantenay-carrot-heirloom-75-days-vegetables-pinetree-garden-seeds-241.jpg?v=1730892527","url":"https:\/\/www.superseeds.mom\/products\/red-cored-chantenay-carrot-75-days","provider":"Pinetree Garden Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
