Carrot Flyaway F1 | Approx 500 Seeds

Excellent resistance to carrot fly. Position: full sun Soil: fertile, well drained and lightThe leading variety for resistance to carrot fly, whose larvae can ruin carrots by tunnelling into the roots and allowing rots to set in. ‘Flyaway’ is bred to be less attractive to the flies so rarely affected by comparison to other varieties, making it a particularly reliable cropper producing deliciously sweet and crunchy roots every time. Growing Instructions: Sow sparingly direct into shallow drills and cover lightly with soil. Protect early and late sowings with cloches. Thin seedlings gradually until they are 5cm apart, watering beforehand to avoid disturbing nearby roots: larger thinnings can be eaten raw as baby carrots. Do not grow carrots in freshly-manured ground as this can cause them to fork. Sow: March-May Harvest: July to September Approximate quantity: 500 seeds.
