Carrot - Healthmaster Carrot seed germinates in soils as cold as 45 degrees, but performs best in warm soils. It also contains 35% more vitamin A value than any Danvers carrot. Even moisture is essential. This carrot will have a length of 10 inches and a crown of 3 inches and weigh more than a pound. In very warm climates carrots are grown primarily in the fall. Even with the long growth period, they will mature anywhere regular carrots are grown if planted in the spring. The Carrot Healthmaster, 'Daucus carota var staivus (hybrid)', is a new big hunk of carrot weighing in at around 1. The single most important factor in growing carrots is to have a deep, clod and rock free, well drained soil. |
