Carrot Volcano F1
Carrot Volcano F1 from Thompson & Morgan is a superb late maincrop variety, offering strong, smooth-skinned roots that can grow up to 23cm in length. Known for its exceptional resistance to cavity spot and crown disease, this carrot variety ensures a healthy, robust harvest. The roots are strong, with a tapered shape and great resistance to breakage and splitting, making them ideal for both storing and eating throughout the winter months.
This variety is perfect for gardeners seeking a reliable crop that can withstand tough growing conditions. With its excellent disease resistance, Carrot Volcano F1 is less susceptible to common carrot problems, making it a great choice for long-term storage. The deep orange roots are full of flavour and provide a hearty addition to a wide range of dishes, whether roasted, boiled, or enjoyed raw.
To grow Carrot Volcano F1, sow the seeds directly into well-prepared soil in early spring to early summer. Ensure the soil is light, free from stones, and well-drained to allow the roots to grow long and straight. Space the seeds about 2-3 cm apart and thin the seedlings once they are large enough, leaving a 5-7 cm gap between each plant to promote healthy root development. Regular watering is important, especially in dry conditions, to prevent the roots from becoming too woody.
As a late-season variety, Carrot Volcano F1 will be ready for harvesting in late autumn to early winter. This variety’s strength and disease resistance make it a fantastic choice for gardeners looking to extend their harvest into the colder months. Whether stored in the ground or harvested for storage, these carrots will remain firm and flavourful, providing delicious, homegrown produce well into the winter.
With its impressive size, robust flavour, and strong disease resistance, Carrot Volcano F1 is a must-have for any vegetable garden. Enjoy a plentiful harvest of top-quality carrots that are perfect for cooking, snacking, and storing.
