A early and delightful summer carrot with cylindrical roots. The variety has a small core, a classic orange carrot appearance, and an incredibly delicate taste. An easy-to-grow variety that thrives in open ground and raised beds but also in heavier soils. This lovely variety also grows well in pots with good results, which has made it a popular balcony carrot. The variety's long storage time makes it a very popular and well-liked variety that is often mentioned in common parlance and in various cultivation contexts.
The fantastically sweet and delicious taste makes Nantes 2 excellent for cooking and baking. Oven-roasted carrots with honey and rosemary or creamed carrots are two favorites with this variety. When it comes to baking with Nantes 2, carrot bread in a baking tray with pumpkin seeds and flake salt or a summery carrot cake with lots of Philadelphia frosting are two real favorites. The variety is also delightful to eat on its own or with dip. A carrot classic with a wide range of uses that will not disappoint you!

Care and cultivation advice
Direct sow outdoors when the soil is workable or in late autumn for early spring harvest. Make sure to water the soil well before sowing and to keep the sowing moist throughout the germination period. The variety thrives best in rich sandy soil, but reYellowar vegetable soil or planting soil works well too. It should be sown very thinly with a distance of 6-8 cm between each seed and avoid thinning later on if possible.
The variety can also be sown and harvested gradually throughout the season. It is important to remember that carrots should change location every year to avoid damage from insects and diseases.
