Carrot, Summer 'Laguna F1'
Daucus carota
Very early variety.
Lovely aromatic, sweet taste. Becomes 18-20 cm long, smooth, slightly conical and rounded shape at the bottom. Can be harvested from June into autumn. A reliable variety with many positive properties. Do not sow too densely. Sunny placement in deep, porous, well-drained, humus-rich soil.
Summer carrots are varieties that are fast-growing, usually long and thin and with a fantastic sweet and juicy taste. Summer carrots are not the best for winter storage, and are best eaten straight away or frozen for later.
Pre-cultivation: Not recommended - carrots do not like their roots disturbed.
Direct sowing: Early, as soon as the soil can be cultivated to the end of June. Water the soil before sowing and keep the seed moist. Germination time 2-4 weeks. Covering with fiber cloth after sowing gives faster germination and prevents attacks from pests. Leave the fiber cloth on until harvesting.
