Carrot Amsterdam Forcing RHS AGM
RHS Award As the name implies this variety is highly suited to being forced and is the earliest of all varieties. Very sweet flavour, good colour and small core. A delightful flavour early in the season. First choice for early sowing under cloches and produces small cylindrical roots that freeze well.
WHEN TO SOW April to August
WHERE TO SOW Sow thinly direct into the growing site 2cm (¾"") deep in rows 30cm (12"") apart. March sowings under cloches, later sowings should not need covering. Can also be sown February to March in a greenhouse or under cloches.
WHAT TO DO NEXT If you have to thin the seedlings, do so in the evening. Water before thinning and remove all the debris. Do not transplant. Aim for roots 2cm (¾"") apart. Young Carrots can always be pulled alternately to 'thin as you eat'.
MATURITY May to November
HANDY TIP For Christmas Carrots, try a September sowing in a large 60cm (24") deep container in a frost-free greenhouse. Under ideal conditions, this variety could be ready to pull 45-50 days after sowing. NUTRITIONAL VALUES High in antioxidant beta-carotene which converts to vitamin A in the body.
