This 6\" Chantenay carrot is now incredibly rare in the USA, and we hope to help it make a deserving comeback! We were entrusted  with these seeds by our dear friend Penn of \u003ca title=\"Miss Penn's Mountain Seeds website\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pennandcordsgarden.com\/miss-penns-mountain-seeds.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMiss Penn's Mountain Seeds, \u003c\/a\u003ewho received the seeds in the early '90s from seed breeder Bill McDorman, who obtained the seeds from Japan. Like many seeds, it's been on a long migration around the world, passed through many caring hands! \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighlights: So crisp and sweet! We love how the roots can remain in the ground for many months and not get pithy\/woody-- the crispness stays intact! Their conical shape is excellent for growing in challenging soils including clay, rocky and poor soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe had a lot of fun selecting the best roots for your seeds and re-planting them the next spring. Carrot seed takes two years to grow and this has been a labor of love. You must try this wonderful carrot and pass it along to your gardener friends!  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e A cool weather crop. Sow Kinko carrot seed in spring and fall 1\/4\" deep. Thin to 3-4\" apart. Keep moist until seeds germinate-- it is easy for carrot seed to dry out when first planted. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed Saving Instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e At the end of the first season, select tastiest Kinko carrot roots for seed saving by tasting a small bite from side or tip of root. In warmer climates like the desert southwest, leave these in the ground to overwinter and cover with straw. In colder climates like the Rocky Mountains, place roots in very slightly moist sand in a root cellar or cool place and re-plant roots in the spring. Carrots will flower and go to seed in 2nd season. Collect Kinko carrot seeds when fully dry and crumbling. Store seeds in a cool, dark and dry place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eApprox 300 Kinko Carrot seeds per packet\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vibrant Earth Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51765455552743,"sku":"sku-47192735187099","price":4.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/7769\/0026\/files\/Kinko1.jpg?v=1770138933","url":"https:\/\/shop.iamcountryside.com\/products\/kinko-6-chantenay-carrot","provider":"Countryside","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
