The Northern region is a no-no in my friend's calculations.

Yeah, I did a trial on carrot last year, it did well. Just last week I started another one, as at yesterday with the report I got from farm it sprouting out. Mean while I can give u contacts of farmers who dose it commercially here in south west.

@Soloxam, please do send me their contacts to koboideas@gmail.com (preferably their email addresses) Do you have the seeds of the Nantes variety in stock?

I tried carrot some few years back. failed woefully. they carrots were are small as my little finger altho they were extremely sweet. their small nature wasn't encouraging at all.

@jasper7, l think the variety you planted was a factor. That is why am asking Soloxam if they have the seeds of the Nantes variety, it is sweet and long (up to 20cm), Some Kenyan farmers exports it to Europe alongside baby corn.

Can i supply u from Jos where we plant irish potatoes, strawbery & tomatoes.
How can i get that carrot seeds that is 20cm long, hpoe it is sweet ?

Sorry, the Carrot farm should be located in the South west.

They are sweet and sold here by many seed companies just wanted to know if it is available in Nigeria. One of the seed companies selling it is Royal seeds (http://www.royalseed.biz)

@Soloxam, please do send me their contacts to koboideas@gmail.com (preferably their email addresses) Do you have the seeds of the Nantes variety in stock?

@ Pavore9, I will send u the contact as soon as I get to my office, presently in a farm. The Nantes verity is presently out of stock, but hope to have it very soon.

@Jasper there are factors that makes ur carrot smaller, 1. is verity as mention by Pavore9, 2. spacing; if it is closely space u have very small one, the one I did last year, I notice the one I spaced well did well and big, the the once that were too close was very small and thinning. 3. is the soil must be very loss, carrot will penetrate well if the soil is loosen, also it require good amount of water at root elongated stage.........

my brother, this one is a development. I appreciate. so... how many times should I plough?

l recently dropped by a carrot farm where l went to drop some parcels and was thrilled by the carrots l saw there and was told it was of the Nantes variety which gives them 15-17tonnes per acre, They were also some which they were growing hydroponically (without soil) but l didn't get to see them because l was in a hurry,

l will certainly want to believe that Carrot is not exclusive to Jos area.

I believe so too. but 15-17 tonnes of carrot per acre is some serious numbers o. wow

jasper7:

l guess our measurement is the same as here, an acre is equivalent to about our 8.5plots (50ft by 100ft)

jasper7:

Boss, it could be once or twice depending on the nature of the soil, but the fact remain that the soil should have fine tilth.
