White Satin

Carrot

75d to harvest

Silky and luminous, White Satin carrots mature into long, tapered roots with a creamy white finish and a faint, satiny sheen that catches the light in the garden. Their flesh stays crisp and tender, offering a clean, sweet bite that shines whether you lift them young for fresh snacking or let them fully develop for roasting and hearty winter-style preparations. White Satin’s Danvers form—classic length with a graceful shoulder—makes it a standout for gardeners who want a refined, elegant harvest from a reliable 75-day rhythm.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I water ‘White Satin’ carrots during the main growing period?

During active root bulking (roughly from a few weeks after thinning until harvest), keep the top 1–2 inches of soil consistently moist—typically about 1 inch of water per week, adjusted for heat and rainfall. Water deeply, then let the surface slightly dry before the next watering to reduce fungal leaf issues while still preventing the roots from drying out. Irregular moisture can cause cracking and forked roots in Daucus carota.

How do I tell when ‘White Satin’ carrots are ready to harvest?

Start checking at about 70–75 days: look for the shoulder of the carrot showing at the soil surface and feel for a firm, well-formed root beneath. White Satin is a small-to-medium carrot—harvest once the roots reach a thumb-to-finger thickness so they stay sweet and tender. If you wait too long, the roots can become tougher and more likely to develop a woody center.
