Description

An early carrot, whose roots are good, short and so easier to grow. It is sweet and tasty and quick to crop. The first one I sow in my garden and ideal for those with small gardens as it can be grown in a pot.

This produces beautiful long cylindrical carrots about 15cm in length. Inter sow with Spring Onion 'North Holland Blood Red' to deter carrot root fly.

Please note, illustrated packets are being introduced gradually over the coming months, availability may vary.

Care Tips

Water well to encourage germination. Once germinated, carrots should be watered only when necessary to keep the soil moist as excessive water may encourage leaf growth instead of roots. Grow under Enviromesh to protect against carrot root fly.
