Description
Reviews

The yellow carrot 'Jaune du Doubs' (Daucus Carota) originates from France from the region Doubs, which is where it got its name.

As a yellow carrot, it is typically less sweet than the orange varieties. It is therefore very well suited for carrot stews and also has excellent storability.

The 'Jaune du Doubs' forms long tapered roots and tends to get green heads. It has a rather long culture time and therefore should be sown in time.

Germination duration: Carrots need very long, 21-27 days on average. That's why it's recommended to mix the seeds with either radish seeds or dill seeds. Both germinates clearly faster and marks a row so that the care of the sowing gets easier. By harvesting the radish that is ripe earlier, the rows are pruned automatically. The dill should also be removed when it has reached a height of approx. 25cm.
Row spacing: 30-45cm
Planting distance: 3-5cm
Location: Sunny
Soil: Sandy-loamy, deep, loose, and stone-free soil. This variety prospers very well in loamy soils.
Care: Carrots are moderate feeders and don't tolerate fresh dung. Only use ripe compost for fertilizing. Carrots like to be kept moist and often need supplementary irrigation on sandy soils during the hot summer months. Weeding out is crucial while the plant is still young as the tender plantlets are overrun with weeds fast. For good results, the soil should be loosened regularly. Especially after strong rain when it tends to clog.
Harvest: Most often from May to July. There's no clear sign of maturity.
Family: Umbellifers (Apiaceae)
