Like many root vegetables, organic Danvers 126 carrot does not transplant well and should be directly sown. Plant 2-3 Danvers 126 seeds ¼” deep and 1-2” apart in very loose, well-tilled, and well-drained garden soil in full sun. Open-pollinated carrot seeds germinate in 14-21 days, thinning back to 1 plant every 2” as true leaves establish. Avoid using nitrogen-rich vegetable garden fertilizers which are known to cause carrot growth abnormalities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore Dutch influence in the 16th century, the world’s carrot seed crop was once entirely purple, while orange carrots were the mutant variables Dutch growers sought to isolate and cultivate independently.
