Carrot 'Oxheart'

Daucus carota L

Well-known heirloom carrot variety that was mentioned already at the end of the 19th century. The root is thick and conical with a nice carrot taste. Eaten fresh or blanched and then frozen. Thrives in stone-free, loam-rich and well-drained soil. Water when dry. Thin out and keep free of weeds when the plant is small

Direct sowing: Early, as soon as the soil can be cultivated until the end of June. Water in the seedbed before sowing. Keep the seed moist. Germination time 2-4 weeks. Covering with fiber cloth provides faster germination and prevents attacks from harmful insects. Leave the fiber cloth on until harvesting.
