Growing Information
Growing Danvers Half-Long Heirloom Carrot
‘Danvers Half-Long’ is a dependable open-pollinated carrot known for heavy yields, excellent storage quality, and sweet flavor. Its blocky, tapered roots develop a rich reddish-orange color with fine-grained flesh that is crisp, tender, and especially sweet. A strong performer even in heavier or clay soils, this variety is a reliable choice for gardeners looking for both productivity and long keeping quality.
Sow ‘Danvers Half-Long’ directly in the garden about ½ inch deep. Space plants 2 to 4 inches apart and grow in full sun to partial shade. This cold-tolerant variety also performs well in containers.
Ready to harvest in about 75 days, begin checking the roots as they approach maturity and pull them once they reach your preferred size while they are still crisp and tender.
Sweet, sturdy, and built for keeping, ‘Danvers Half-Long’ is especially well suited for storage.

I've been growing carrots off and on for years. I've never had much luck. Either they are long and skinny or if decent size, eaten by bugs.
These carrots took off! I started them in the late spring and after they sprouted, the only thing I did was keep them watered. This was the best harvest I've ever had. I balanced and froze them. In late July I started another batch for fall harvest.

I spent a ton of money from 3 different seed companies this year on carrot seed, now several thousand seeds and none of them sprouted. I have been gardening and growing carrots for over 65 years, but complete dud this year, i Never have trouble with products from you so assuming it is related to pollinization given 3 different companies]
