Description
An F1 Hybrid with an increased tolerance to Carrot Root Fly as Carrot ‘Flyaway’, but producing larger, blunt ended, cylindrical roots with a deliciously sweet flavour. Carrot ‘Resistafly’ is a ‘Nantes’ type with good early vigour, a smooth skin and excellent core colour. The uniform 15cm (6″) roots store particularly well. Height: 30cm (12″). Spread: 15cm (6″). Companion planting: Try growing carrots with spring onions, leeks and mint, whose aromatic leaves deter carrot root fly. Sow thinly, directly into a drill 1.5cm deep. Aim for a seed every 2.5cm to avoid the need for too much thinning and sow in rows 15cm apart. If you do need to thin do it at night when the carrot-fly is not around. Lightly cover the seed with fine soil and water carefully with a fine hose. Seedlings should appear at about 17 days. .
