Growing 5" Shin Kuroda Carrot Vegetable Garden Seeds
Shin Kuroda Carrot Seed Growth Habits:
A Chantenay-type carrot, the Shin Kuroda variety grows to approximately 5" long and has finely textured green foliage.
Shin Kuroda carrot seeds will germinate in soil as low as 40 degrees F and the carrots can tolerate a light frost, so the seeds can be directly sown into the garden 2 to 4 weeks before your last frost date for the earliest harvest. Succession planting is recommended for a continuous harvest throughout the growing season. It can take 1 to 3 weeks before the seeds germinate, depending on soil temperature and moisture levels. The warmer the soil, the faster the seeds will germinate, and the soil should be kept evenly moist.
