Root vegetables
SOWING OUTDOOR
7 Vegetable
The garden soil must be fine, airy, of a fine structure, evenly moist and fertilised. A good soil preparation will repay!
Sowing should always be done at the appropriate time. Sowing dates are stated on the seed pockets. However, if the weather is not
favourable, these dates are useless. Impatient gardeners, who sow in a cold soil which is too moist, are usually disappointed. We
should consider a simple guideline: for successful germination and growth, the plants need warmth and moisture!
We should sow the seed, slightly cover it with soil, and press it into the soil. Regular watering is very important. Usually, we blame
the seed for being of a bad quality when it does not germinate, but we are the ones who forgot to water it regularly.
Another advice: do not sow too densely because then the plants do not get enough air, water and nutritional substances which
causes them to grow poorly.
180 - Carrot
Amsterdam 2
Very early (85 days),
develops small (13-16
cm), orange-red carrots.
Should grow in mixed crop
with onion, since they
protect each other from
pests.
214 - Parsley
Mosskrause 2
A selection with fine
curled, green leaves.
211 - Parsley
Halblange
Use aromatic green, slightly
shiny leaves and aromatic
roots, which are thick,
smooth and pointed. Rich

carotenes, folic acid, iron
and potassium.
189 - Carrot Nantaise
amelioree 2
Medium-early variety (approx.
100 days). Orangered
tasty carrots should

onions or leeks. Carrots
contain large quantities
of the vegetable colouring
beta-carotene (vitamin A)
and selenium.
213 - Parsley
Commun 2
Has smooth dark-green
aromatic leaves. Cut leaves
in time to ensure minimum
stem content. Sow
each year in a different
place. Can be cultivated
in pots on balconies
and windowsills.
A TIMELY AND PROPER
SOWING
For a successful germination seed needs moisture,
warmth, and air.
Sowing should be done at the appropriate time.
Seed of each vegetable has special needs which
must be taken into consideration. The typical mistakes
which are made when sowing are: sowing in-
to an unprepared/badly prepared soil, sowing too
deep or too shallow, the soil is too dry or too moist,
the seed from home stocks can be old and does not
germinate as it should, the fact that some vegeta-
bles germinate for a very long time (e.g., a carrot
needs up to a month to germinate) is not taken into
consideration.
We must always choose the right density of plants
- planting distance (usually, we sow densely in
lines and later on we have to thin out; the densi-
ties are stated on the seed pockets and in various
literature on vegetables and flowers; the proper
density is also determined on the basis of our experience).
