Carrot Danvers Org

Growers in Danvers, Massachusetts during the late-19th century were searching for a carrot with improved color, yield, and uniformity. After many variations, the ‘Danvers 126’ carrot was born! It grows particularly well interplanted with onions and in heavy soils due to its high fiber content. Heat-tolerant with high yields, it also has a noticeably sweeter flavor and stores exceptionally well if cleaned after harvest. Resistant to cracks and splits. This packet sows up to 42 feet.

When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED.

2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 45°F, ideally 60°-85°F.

Successive Sowings: Every 3 weeks until 10 to 12 weeks before your average first fall frost date.

In very warm climates, carrots are grown primarily in fall, winter, and spring.
