Radish and Carrot Mix (Touchon, Rose de Pâques) - Ferme de Sainte Marthe seeds

This organic carrot and radish seed mix brings together two popular varieties: 'Touchon' (50%) and 'Rose de Pâques' (50%). Radishes and carrots are often planted simultaneously in the same row. Fast-growing radishes, once harvested, will leave room for the carrots to grow.

'Touchon' is a popular, excellent quality French heirloom. This high-yielding Nantes type variety produces half-long, straight, coreless roots with rounded tips. The firm, crisp, bright orange flesh has excellent flavour. Sow this early season to maincrop carrot under cloches in February-March or outdoors from April to June. Harvest from late May to November.

'Easter Pink' or 'Rose de Pâques' radish is a very tasty variety that produces long, tapered pink roots with crisp white flesh. Superb in spring salads! Sow from March to October and harvest 5 weeks later.

Organic Seed Tape: the pre-distanced seeds are placed between two fine layers of biodegradable fibres. Easy-to-sow and practical. No thinning required!

NB. Organic seeds (in French "AB" for "Agriculture Biologique") are produced from plants that aren't treated with phytosanitary products (insecticides, weed killers). The seeds do not undergo post-harvest treatment. They carry the AB label and are approved by Ecocert, an independent structure.
