Harvest
Early varieties such as ‘Nantes 2’ can be harvested from 9 weeks after sowing and maincrop varieties such as ‘Autumn King 2’ can be harvested from 11 weeks. These times may vary according to the growing conditions so it’s worth pulling a few ‘test’ carrots to see how they’re doing! Carrots can be stored for up to four months if placed in boxes of slightly damp sand and kept in a cool, dry and frost-free place. Maincrop varieties such as ‘Bangor’ are better for storing than small early varieties.
