{"product_id":"w-carotte-berlicum","title":"Carrot 'Berlicum'","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‘Berlicum Coreless’ carrot (\u003cem\u003eDaucus carota subsp. sativus\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/strong\u003e, offered by Weston Seeds, is a highly regarded heirloom variety. Its bright orange roots average 15 cm (6 in.) long and reach up to 4 cm (1.5 in.) in diameter. Smooth-skinned and evenly cylindrical with blunt ends, they have a tender, crisp texture and mild flavour, even when harvested late. Their high moisture content also makes them well suited to fresh juice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis carrot matures in 65 to 70 days, producing roots 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in.) long and foliage 25 to 30 cm (10 to 12 in.) tall. Direct sow in full sun, in deep, loose, well-prepared soil once the soil temperature is above 7.5°C (45°F). Sow 7 to 15 mm (1\/4 to 1\/2 in.) deep, with rows 45 to 60 cm (18 to 24 in.) apart, then thin seedlings to 5 cm (2 in.) apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMixing the seed with a little sand helps distribute it evenly. Keep the seedbed consistently moist during the two-week germination period without allowing a crust to form, and sow at five-day intervals to stagger the harvest. Weed carefully, water regularly and avoid high-nitrogen fertilizer to help prevent misshapen roots. Harvest when the roots reach the desired colour and size; enjoy them raw, cooked or juiced.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52180317044896,"sku":"WSD-62223000010","price":3.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/3878\/5440\/files\/Carotte_Berlicum.png?v=1769469163","url":"https:\/\/www.pepiniere.ca\/en\/products\/w-carrot-berlicum","provider":"Pépinière.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
