Kuroda Heirloom Carrot
150 Seeds
(Daucus carota) An improved Chantenay-type carrot developed in Japan for Asian markets, Kuroda is a consistent and reliable producer 7-9" long, tapered carrots. Plants perform well in a variety of soils and the sweet, orange carrots are great for fresh eating, cooking, and roasting. 85 days to harvest. 150 seeds per packet.
CULTURE: Plant seeds outdoors about 3-5 weeks before the last frost. Prepare bed by tilling and removing any rocks. Sow seeds in furrows 1/8" deep with rows 12-18" apart. Keep soil moist until germination has occurred (10-21 days.) Hint: To keep soil cool and moist during germination, carrot seed can be interplanted with radishes, which are harvested once the carrot seedlings are well established. Thin seedlings to one every 3-4". Successive plantings can be made every 2-3 weeks throughout spring and fall.
