Product description

Carrot 'Autumn King 2' is a well-established maincrop variety renowned for its reliable yield of large, smooth, and deep orange roots. With a robust growth habit, this variety is ideal for late-season harvests, producing carrots that are highly resistant to splitting and cracking. The roots are known for their sweet, rich flavour, making them a favourite for both cooking and fresh eating. This variety is particularly well-suited for long-term storage, ensuring you have a supply of homegrown carrots throughout the winter months.

Sowing Carrot 'Autumn King 2' is straightforward, with seeds best sown directly outdoors from March to July. Prepare the soil by raking it finely and ensuring it is well-drained. Sow the seeds thinly in rows spaced 30cm apart and cover lightly with soil. As seedlings emerge, thin them to 5cm apart to give the roots ample space to grow. Regular watering, particularly during dry spells, is crucial to prevent the roots from becoming woody and to promote even growth.

Harvesting begins in September and can continue through to December, depending on the sowing time. The carrots can be left in the ground until needed, or they can be lifted and stored in a cool, dry place for winter use. Carrot 'Autumn King 2' is an excellent choice for those looking to grow a reliable, high-yielding variety that offers a continuous supply of delicious, homegrown carrots well into the colder months. Regular watering and ensuring the soil is free from stones and heavy clods will support optimal growth, making this variety a great option for both beginner and experienced gardeners.
