Flyaway F1

Season Overview

Description

Medium-early maturing F1 hybrid of the nantaisetype. Resistant to carrot fly and maggots (due to selection during breeding, no genetic engineering), long shelf life (harvest can be stored until March). Cylindrical 15-18cm long carrots with fine sweet taste and high carotene content.

Growing tips

Germination in 14-21 days at 6-20 degrees. If necessary, thin out to 3-5cm. For optimal growth, careful weeding is ideal for the plant. Avoid waterlogging. Keep soil loose by hoeing. Water supply should be regular and even, because if the plant encounters too much water after a severe dry period, the carrots may burst due to excessive absorption. Ready for harvest after about 4 months.
