Description
Carrot (Denver #126) is a popular root vegetable variety known for its smooth, straight roots and naturally sweet flavour. It performs well in a variety of soil conditions, making it a dependable option for both beginners and experienced gardeners.
The roots are crisp, nutritious, and commonly used in salads, stews, juices, and healthy meals. For Nigerian growers, this variety is valuable because it adapts well to local growing conditions when planted in loose, well-prepared soil during cooler periods.
Best Time to Plant (Nigeria)
Best planted during the dry season when cooler temperatures help promote straight, well-formed root development.
Where to Grow
Suitable for outdoor gardens and deep containers where soil can be properly prepared.
Light
Requires full sun and at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
How to Grow
Sow seeds directly into loose, well-drained, sandy or loamy soil. Thin seedlings early to allow enough space for roots to develop properly. Keep soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging, as excess water can cause root rot or splitting. Remove stones or hard soil clumps to prevent misshapen carrots.
Recommended Pot
Use deep pots with good drainage to allow long, straight root growth.
