The Oxheart Heirloom Carrot was introduced from France prior to 1884 and are often hard to find. This carrot is uniquely shaped, short, very thick and is 5-6" deep by 3-4" in diameter, and grows over 1 pound very rapidly. It has excellent quality for a large carrot and stores very well; an excellent juicer. Oxheart thrives in heavy soil. 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 add to your beautiful arrangement.
