(Daucus carota) This variety is one of the sweetest carrots on the market! The deep orange roots of Tendersweet are top quality, great tasting and super for cooking, canning, juicing or eating raw! Deep orange flesh won't fade during cooking. Easy to grow and care for! Tendersweet has long, 9-10" tapered roots; rich orange color; super sweet, crisp, tender, and coreless. Similar to Imperator, but freezes better. Tendersweet carrot is one of the finest varieties, always sweet, tender and brittle. Size at Maturity: 9-10" long. 70-75 days. HOW TO GROW: Root quality is best when soil temperatures are 60 F to 70 F. The shape of the root is determined within the first few weeks after germination when the new plant extends its taproot deep into the soil. If it encounters obstacles (such as rocks or high water table) or is damaged, shape and quality of the root will suffer. Mulch to keep soil cool, conserve moisture and to keep exposed "shoulders" from turning green and bitter. Another option is to hill soil over the shoulders. To prevent diseases, don't plant carrots in the same spot more than once every 3 years. You may need to loosen soil to pull carrots without breaking off tops. Trim off foliage to extend storage time. *** **SOIL Temperature for Germination: 60-70F **Height At Maturity: 9-10" long. **Plant Spacing: 2” apart, Row Spacing: 4" apart. **Hardiness: Zones 4-10 **Sun Requirement: Full Sun, **Days to Germination: 15-21 days, **Germination Rate: 90%
