A variety scientifically known as Daucus carota var. sativus, is a rewarding venture for any gardener. These biennial heirloom carrots possess remarkable flavor and versatility, making them an ideal addition to various culinary endeavors.
Characteristics of Chantenay Carrots:
Chantenay carrots are characterized by their deep red-orange hue and typically grow to a length of 5 to 6 inches. Their roots exhibit a conical shape with wide-topped shoulders, culminating in crisp and tender produce. These carrots are celebrated for their all-purpose nature, excelling in canning, juicing, freezing, and root cellaring due to their rich flavor and texture.
Nutritional Value:
Carrots, including the Chantenay variety, are a nutritional powerhouse. They boast exceptionally high levels of vitamin A, making them beneficial for vision health. Additionally, they serve as a good source of vitamin C and potassium, contributing to overall well-being and immune function.
Optimal Growing Conditions
Soil Temperature: Chantenay carrots thrive in soil temperatures ranging between 45°F to 85°F.
Planting Depth: Sow the seeds at a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inch for optimal germination.
Germination: Under suitable conditions, expect germination to occur within 6 to 20 days.
Maturity: These carrots typically reach maturity in approximately 75 days.
Sun/Shade: Chantenay carrots flourish in full sun exposure, ensuring robust growth and development.
Spacing After Thinning: Once the seedlings emerge, maintain a spacing of 2 to 3 inches between them for healthy growth.
Planting Chantenay Carrots
When planting Chantenay carrots, select a sunny location in your garden with well-draining soil. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of at least 12 inches, ensuring it’s free from stones or clumps that might obstruct root growth.
Sow the seeds directly into the soil at the recommended depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Cover the seeds lightly with soil and ensure consistent moisture during the germination period. Thinning is essential once the seedlings emerge, ensuring they have ample space to develop. Maintain the recommended spacing of 2 to 3 inches between plants to foster robust growth.
Care and Maintenance
Watering: Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry spells, but avoid waterlogged conditions to prevent rotting of the roots.
Weeding: Regularly weed the area around the carrots to prevent competition for nutrients and space.
Mulching: Applying a layer of mulch can help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer according to the instructions to support healthy growth.
Harvesting Chantenay Carrots:
Harvesting time for Chantenay carrots usually falls around 75 days after planting. However, you can gauge their readiness by observing their size and color. Gently pull them out of the ground, ensuring minimal damage to the roots.
Storage After harvesting, remove excess soil without washing the carrots. Store them in a cool, humid environment like a root cellar or refrigerator to prolong their freshness.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Chantenay grows well in heavy or shallow soils, retaining its shape well, but will also grow in light, deeply tilled soils with plenty of added organic matter, good drainage, a pH range of 6.0-6.6, and regular water. Apply a mulch layer once established to keep roots cool.
Planting & Growing: Seed directly into 75F soil for quick germination. Mix the small seeds with dry coffee grounds or sand to improve seed distribution. Over planting requires thinning to provide sufficient growing room.
Harvesting & Storage: You may need to loosen soil to pull carrots without breaking off tops. Trim off foliage to extend storage time. Layer roots in a container with damp medium and store in cool, moist conditions.

Grow and germinate well. I have fairly heavy clay soil and they have done well in in.
The carrots germinated well. They are an inch tall and growing well. I'll have to get back here about the taste later.
I've never been a big fan of snacking on carrots because the ones you buy in the store are always so bland, but these are delicious. We've grown them every year for the last 3 years. Use lots of sand to keep them from growing in funny shapes, and don't use too much organic fertilizer or you'll just get a bunch of green tops with underdeveloped carrots. Other than that, very easy to grow and really yummy.
Let customers speak for us
from 9120 reviewsThe first time I used it, I turned it on and about 5 minutes later I looked out the window and all I saw was a geyser coming out. The sprinkler hed had unscrewed. (I did not check it before I used it). I put it back in and made sure it was tight and it has been working GREAT ever since. So far I really like it and the birds like it also.
I was looking for something durable, light, and affordable. This ticks all the marks. I use it for tools, not vegetables. But it could be used for anything.
I live in a fairly humid climate. I could never successfully grow zucchini until I found these seeds. The plants seem to not be affected by it. Good germination rate. Happy with purchase.
Good quality, healthy little Katy Apricot trees. As described at a great price. Grow Organic is a quality seller that will be my go-to nursery.
The Save a Branch supports are wonderful. Our Peach tree is loaded and the branches were bending down quite a bit. Several neighbors lost branches on their trees but ours are supported and doing very well. Great product.
Planted 80 seeds that were 2 years old and had 60-70% germination rate. It was an easy to use product and I had so much left over that I shared it with a friend.
Good quality. I would buy it again
yum
Received very fast the seeds packet, will be using it this fall.
These plants are incredible nearly every seed sprouted and I planted them all around my garden between tomatoes, squash, etc. they now nearly 6 feet tall and I’ve started harvesting some of the flowers for tea
His crew great as well been eating about a month now
So far these seeds are growing great! I had a great germination success rate! I would definitely buy it again!
My family very love this variety of cucumbers for pickling. Seed's are very productive and delicious cucumbers.
Hard to find a good flower fertilizer….this one does the job!
This fertilizer in pellet form is soo easy to sprinkle around the garden. Breaks down slowly to provide months of food for my veggies.
