What is Tendersweet carrot known for?
Tendersweet is a long, tapered, coreless heirloom carrot with deep reddish-orange flesh and exceptional sweetness. Its smooth, tender texture makes it a top pick for fresh eating, juicing, and canning.
What soil does Tendersweet carrot need?
Because Tendersweet roots grow long, they need deep, loose, sandy soil worked down at least 10-12 inches and free of stones. Rocky or compacted soil causes forking and stunting.
When and how do I sow Tendersweet carrot seeds?
Direct sow 1/4 inch deep starting 2-3 weeks before your last spring frost, and again in summer for a fall crop. Keep the seedbed evenly moist through the 2-3 week germination period.
How long does Tendersweet carrot take to mature?
Tendersweet is ready in about 70-75 days. Harvest when the roots are fully colored; a light frost before pulling makes them even sweeter.
How far apart should Tendersweet carrots be spaced?
Thin seedlings to 2-3 inches apart in rows 12-18 inches apart so these long roots have room to grow straight and full.
How many Tendersweet seeds are in a packet, and are they heirloom?
Each packet contains approximately 1,250 open-pollinated heirloom, non-GMO seeds, plenty for a full season of juicing and fresh carrots.
How long do Tendersweet carrots get?
Typically 8 to 9 inches in deep, loose soil, so give them room to size up.
Is it a good juicing carrot?
Yes. Its high sugar content and coreless flesh make it one of the sweetest juicing varieties.
