Carrot "Cidera" (seedtape).
High-yielding late carrot variety of the Nantes type (145-155 days).
Suitable for making juice, canning, fresh consumption, and long-term winter storage. Root crops are cylindrical with a blunt end, 21–23 cm long.
The core is small, rounded, with orange flesh. Roots are resistant to cracking.
Grows best in well-cultivated, humus-rich, light loamy or sandy soil. Repeated sowing in the same place is carried out no earlier than after 4–5 years.
Advantages of sowing on tape: larger and higher quality yields. With sufficient moisture, seeds germinate faster and more evenly, no thinning is required. Water the furrows before laying the tapes. Then cover the tape with soil and water abundantly.
A 4 m long tape allows you to get about 350 high-quality roots or 30–40 kg of harvest.

* One of the reliable ways to "save" carrots, beets, and other root crops is to store them in sphagnum moss. Roots are placed in boxes in layers, shifting with moss so that they do not touch each other.
Sphagnum moss has a whole range of unique properties. First of all, hygroscopicity: it can hold moisture 100 times its dry weight, which ensures reliable moisture and air exchange. Due to the high iodine content, moss is an excellent bactericidal and disinfectant agent, and its ability to accumulate carbon dioxide gives a good preservative effect.
Green carpets of sphagnum moss occupy huge spaces, it grows in the shade, under the canopy of spruce trees, where it is damp. It has no roots, and each stem is crowned with a rosette framed by delicate leaves. Moss has a high degree of renewability. Every year after harvesting, a new layer grows - better and cleaner in quality than the previous year. Moss is harvested in July - early August and dried quickly. Dried bunches become whitish-gray.
