Common Questions

Why won't my Nantes 2 carrot seeds germinate? Carrots usually take up to 21 days to germinate but can take even longer if the temperature of your soil is too low. The soil needs to be kept moist during the germination process to ensure success.

Can you grow Nantes 2 carrots in seed module trays? Sowing your carrots into modules so you can transplant later is possible, make sure you plant out when the seedlings are still small. If you leave the transplanting process too long the roots can already have reached the bottom of their pots, which can cause forked roots for your vegetable seeds in the future.

What happens if I plant Nantes 2 carrots too close together? If you attempt to grow carrots too close together then there will not be enough space to develop the large roots required. If there isn't enough space for healthy roots then your Nantes 2 carrots will be stunted and grow misshaped.
