Bangor Unpelleted Main Season Carrot - Organic

Daucus carota
(75 days) F-1 hybrid. Bright orange bulky Bolero-type is tailor-made for its namesake soil type. We’ve had Bangor in our field trials multiple years, and it’s got everything we want in a fall storage carrot: 8–10" long and 1" thick, stays solid for months, crisp and sweet every time. Resists snapping in packing and shipping. Home gardeners will be happy they hefted these into the cellar once they haul them back out for winter soups or grated root salad. Good color and body when juiced. Healthy tops and an overall vigorous lumberjack of a carrot in all fall crop conditions. Maybe Bangor, Maine’s Queen City, could give visiting dignitaries carrots instead of keys to the city. White or yellow certified-organic coating. ④ NEW!

Additional Information

Carrots

  • ⅛ oz packet sows 35 ft; 1 oz, 280 ft. 1 gram packet has more than 400 seeds and sows about 10 ft.
  • Carrots average 18,000 seeds/oz with significant variations among varieties.
  • Days to maturity are from seedling emergence after direct sowing.

Culture: Very hardy. Early carrots can be sown by late April. For fall crop or winter storage, seed in early summer. Minimal germination temperature 40°, optimal range 75–85°. Can take up to 3 weeks to germinate; keep rows from drying out for faster emergence. Thinning is critical: At 3" high thin to ½" apart, at 6" thin again to 1-2" apart.

Diseases:

  • ALTS: Alternaria Leaf Spot
  • PM: Powdery Mildew
  • BR: Black Rot
  • TLS: Target Leaf Spot
  • LR: Licorice Rot
  • P: Pythium

ALTS shows up first on the oldest foliage as brown-black spots edged with yellow. Foliage blackens and shrivels as it develops and spreads. Maintaining a good crop rotation is the best preventive.
