MG Naturals Carrot Seed (100gm)

Description

CARROT SEED The culinary versatility of carrots from carrot seeds, combined with their nutrition, ease of growth, and centuries of cultivation, has resulted in a spectrum of shapes, sizes, and colours.The Carrot plant (Daucus carota L.) is biennial and develops, in its second year, 'umbels' which are groups of flowers which produce seeds. In the first year, seedlings emerge with two strap-like leaves which are the cotyledons, followed by rosettes of doubly compound leaves arising from the crown.From the hypocotyl, a tap root develops. Initially, the plant produces top growth, which supplies carbohydrates to the swelling hypocotyl.Carrots grow into big plants waist high or taller, producing successive branches with large flat umbels of flowers. HOW TO GROW:Carrots do not like to be transplanted and are best sown directly into the garden bed. Sow carrot seeds in deep, well-worked soil in full sun. Straight roots require soil that is light, loosened deeply, and free of stones, so prepare a carrot planting thoroughly. Consider using a soil amendment such as compost if your soil is heavy.Deep, consistent watering and soil well-enriched with compost help carrots form high quality roots
