St Valery Carrot is an 1885 heirloom improved from Long Orange, noted for sweet, tender roots. Sow 1/4 inch deep outdoors starting 3 weeks before the last frost into midsummer.
Seedlings sprout in 6-14 days. Thin to 1-3 inches apart and keep the bed evenly moist until germination, then weed well and cover exposed shoulders to prevent greening.
