The Danvers Organic Heirloom Carrots, developed in 1886, are vigorous and moderately tapered with broad shoulders. They are 8" long, a rich reddish orange, and easy to harvest due to their strong tops. The Danvers carrot works wonderfully interplanted with onions and thrives in heavy soils because of its higher fiber content. It is thinner and longer than a Chantenay type (growing 6"-8" long) and has a wonderful flavor; resistant to cracks and splits. Carrots are a cool season vegetable. The soil temperature must be at least 40 degrees F., and the newly sprouted seeds must not be allowed to dry out. It 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.
