About Nantes Half Long

Nantes Half Long is a shorter Nantes-type carrot with a nearly cylindrical shape and tender sweet flesh. Its moderate length makes it useful in gardens where very long roots are less practical.

Growing Nantes Half Long Carrot

Thin promptly to avoid crowding, because close seedlings make forked or undersized roots. Pull when roots reach usable size and before hot weather causes loss of sweetness.
