Thompson & Morgan Carrot Fly Free Collection Seed Packet 3 Pack

Embark on your gardening adventure now with the Thompson & Morgan Carrot Fly Free Collection Seed Packet 3 Pack. The Carrot Fly Free Collection offers a practical solution to the troubling issue of carrot root fly infestation. The varieties in this collection are specifically bred for their resistance to carrot fly, featuring low levels of chlorogenic acid, which makes them less appealing to pests. This exceptional collection includes Resistafly, a Nantes-type carrot known for its impressive vigour and great storage qualities; Flyaway, celebrated for its sweetness and smooth skin; and Nantes 2, ideal for early sowings under glass. These carrots can grow to a height of 30cm and a spread of 15cm, making them easy to cultivate and manage. Growing carrots from the Carrot Fly Free Collection is simple. Sow seeds thinly in drills spaced 30cm apart from March to July for early, maincrop, or forcing varieties. It is essential to ensure the soil is well-drained and located in a sunny area. Regular watering is necessary to keep the soil moist without becoming waterlogged, and thinning seedlings to 5cm apart should be done once they are large enough to handle. For later sowings, protection with fleece or netting can help deter carrot fly infestation. Harvest early varieties after 9 weeks and main crops after 12 weeks, storing them in a cool, dry place for up to 4 months. Enjoy a plentiful supply of delicious, fly-free carrots throughout the season. Images provided serve as guidance only and represent the expected results of mature plants. Actual results may vary based on different growing conditions, and images may be included to illustrate supply, but can change due to seasonal variations, such as deciduous plants losing leaves in colder months. Decorative pots are not included. Included varieties: Carrot Resistafly: a Nantes-type with strong vigour, smooth skin, and excellent core colour. Carrot Flyaway: features naturally sweet-tasting roots with smooth skin and vibrant orange colour. Carrot Nantes 2: perfect for early sowings under glass, maturing quickly for an earlier harvest.
