Jeanette
Planting Schedule
Sweet, honeyed flavor blooms from Jeanette’s smooth, cylindrical Nantes roots—sun-warmed and richly aromatic with a tender, crisp bite. At maturity, the deep orange taproots hold a fine, even texture and a graceful, uniform shape that’s as satisfying in the garden as it is in the bowl. Grow Jeanette for reliable, early-to-mid season harvests and for vibrant color that shines in fresh salads, roasted trays, and silky sauces—plus a standout for quick pickling when you want bright, tangy crunch.
