The summary

What you receive: a gift box of organic seed packets for root vegetables, one variety per packet.
The varieties: Nantaise 2, Küttiger and Jaune du Doubs carrots, Cherry Belle and Gros Rond d'Hiver radishes, Detroit 2, Wintersonne, Albina Vereduna and Chioggia beetroots.
When to sow: March to July, direct into the ground.
Depth and germination: 0.5 to 2 cm, then 4 to 10 days at around 15 to 20 °C, longer in cold soil.
What comes next: direct sowing with no transplanting, then thinning at the two true-leaf stage.
Continuous harvesting: sow one metre of row every 2 or 3 weeks rather than one long row all at once.

Boxes of heritage carrots, radishes, or beetroots, to sow in situ from March to July.

Carrots, radishes, and beetroots all have one thing in common: they are sown where they will grow. The carrot box includes in particular Nantaise 2, the white Küttiger, and the Jaune du Doubs; the radish box ranges from Cherry Belle all-year-round to Gros Rond d'Hiver black radish and daikon; the beetroot box brings together the red Detroit 2, the long Cylindra, the white Albina Vereduna, the yellow Wintersonne, and the ringed Chioggia.

🥕 The taproot stays undisturbed

These three species form a taproot that drives straight down from the very first days, and both carrot and radish cope very poorly with being moved: a transplanted seedling will produce a forked or twisted root, with no way to remedy this afterwards. Beetroot tolerates transplanting slightly better, but it is also most commonly sown in situ. You should therefore sow directly in rows, in their final position, into soil that has been worked to a fine tilth to a depth of 20 cm and cleared of stones, since a single stone in the path of the taproot is enough to make it fork. Thinning afterwards is not optional: remove surplus seedlings at the 2 true-leaf stage, spacing radishes to 3 cm, carrots to 5 cm, and beetroot to 10 cm apart, otherwise the entire row will remain spindly.

In cold soil, carrot seed germinates in 17 days

In early spring soil at around 10 °C, a carrot takes approximately 17 days to germinate, compared with 11 days for a radish, and it still needs an extra week in soil at 20 °C. Throughout this period, the surface of the row must not be allowed to dry out, as germination will stop. Light watering every 2 days, or placing a board over the row for the first few days, solves the problem.

A dusting of vermiculite keeps the row moist

These seeds are sown at barely 1 cm depth, placing them in the layer that dries out first. A light covering of natural vermiculite retains moisture at the surface without forming a crust, and young roots penetrate it far more easily than soil compacted by watering. With carrots, which are slow to emerge, this layer helps achieve an even row without gaps.

🍠 Early, storage, and coloured varieties

Within each species, the difference between varieties comes down primarily to when you harvest. An early short-rooted carrot can be sown from March and harvested in 70 days; a long-rooted storage carrot is sown in June and kept through winter in a clamp. A quick-grow radish is ready in 4 weeks and can be sown continuously, whereas a black winter radish takes 3 months and keeps well in a cellar. Colour mainly affects the plate: Chioggia reveals pink and white rings when sliced, while yellow and white varieties stain neither your fingers nor the neighbouring vegetables in the dish.

Detroit 2

The classic round, uniform red beetroot, ready to harvest between 7 and 10 cm in diameter.

Albina Vereduna

White beetroot with sweet flesh, without the pigment that stains fingers and chopping boards.

Chioggia

Sliced into rounds, it reveals concentric white and pink rings that fade on cooking.

Wintersonne

Golden yellow beetroot, mild-flavoured, keeps well and can be eaten raw and grated.

📅 Sowing in stages

Sowing an entire row on the same day gives you an entire harvest in the same week, and that is rarely what you want. Instead, sow one metre of row every 2 or 3 weeks, March to July for carrots, March to September for radishes, April to June for beetroot. This way you get roots at the right size continuously, rather than one large glut followed by oversized, fibrous vegetables. The growing calendar places these windows within the year.

🌻 Roots that flower late in the season

Stored dry, cool and away from light, these seeds keep well: around 6 years for beetroot, 5 years for carrot and radish, so you can sow from each box over several seasons. To save your own seed, bear in mind that carrot, beetroot and large winter radishes are biennials and only flower in the spring of their second year, whereas small radishes bolt in their first summer. Their flowers are insect-pollinated: carrot will even cross with wild carrot growing on nearby banks, and beetroot will cross with chard, so only one variety of each should be allowed to flower at a time. Our article on germination failures covers the common causes of poor emergence.
