The Bolero F-1Carrot places top in a Nantes taste test for both fresh eating and juice quality. Its bright orange roots are uniformly smooth-skinned, thick, slightly tapered, and blunt; rarely does it have green shoulders. Bolero holds in the field without cracking and stores very well. Bolero is the first Nantes carrot with a high tolerance to Alternaria leaf blight. It is a great choice for fall and winter harvest and storage, especially where Alternaria or Cercospora blight is a problem. Carrots are a cool season vegetable, but soil temperatures must be at least 40 degrees F., and the newly sprouted seeds must not be allowed to dry out. It often takes up to 2 weeks to germinate, and they must be kept moist. Early thinning and weeding are a must! Carrots do better on light, sandy or silty loams and do not require high fertility. They are sweeter when harvested after a few good frosts. The beautiful feathery foliage from your mature carrots is a good addition to the compost pile -- but first use them in your vase. They make a delightful and elegant filler.
