Carrot "Vanda"
Carrot "Vanda" - Daucus carota L.
Beautiful juicy roots.
Early maturing high-yielding variety "Nantes". Root crops are cylindrical, very smooth. Length 18-20 cm, weight 120-160 g.
The surface is red-orange. Pulp of excellent taste. Recommended for fresh consumption and short-term storage.
Agricultural technology.
Carrots grow best on light loamy and sandy soils. Potatoes, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, legumes are considered the best predecessors.
In the spring, before sowing, a complex mineral fertilizer is applied to the soil.
Sowing at the end of April in furrows to a depth of 3-4 cm. The distance between rows is 18-20 cm. 2 weeks after germination, the carrots are thinned out.
The second thinning is carried out when the roots reach a diameter of 1 cm, leaving 5-6 cm between plants.
Further care consists of weeding, loosening, watering. Winter crops are carried out when the temperature drops to +5 °C (second half of October - early November).
Seeds are planted to a depth of 1-2 cm, the surface of the site is mulched with peat.
1 gramm = 700-900 seeds.

* Carrot seeds germinate slowly, and the longer the process, the faster the rows become overgrown with weeds, so thinning out the cultivated seedlings can be very difficult.
Thinning out is also complicated by the fact that the extremely small seeds make the seedlings too dense.
Both problems are easily solved: soak the seeds in lukewarm water for six hours so that they swell. Instead of water, you can (even better) use fennel or chamomile tea, which will help protect the seedlings from putrefactive bacteria.
Spread the swollen seeds on a paper towel and let them dry. Then mix them with one or two handfuls of sand and sow as usual.
It is even easier to pour the seeds into a plastic bag, mix them with damp sand, let them sprout, and then carefully spread them along with the sand in the furrows on the bed.
