Thick, short carrots to about 13cm long with fleshy roots and a distinctive, orange-red center. These are among the sweetest of all carrot varieties, so they’re especially good for eating raw as carrot sticks, for juicing or in salads. A shapely heritage variety that you’ll find well worth growing since it’s seldom found in shops.

  • Growing Information

    How to Sow

    To ensure that your carrots grow straight and reach their full length, it is important to work the soil thoroughly to at least a foot deep prior to sowing. Build raised mounds along row lengths to the height of about 15cm, sprinkle seeds and then cover lightly. Keep soil moist and do not allow it to dry out and go hard as this will stop the carrots from breaking the soil. Sow successive plantings in a sunny spot for carrots all year.

    How to Harvest

    Harvest baby carrots when big enough to eat so as to thin out the remainder of the crop to grow to full size. To store carrots, break off the stems but do not wash the carrots. Then place them in damp sawdust. Carrots can also be left in the ground over winter in warmer climates.

    The tips of the leaves are just out of the soil. Excited to taste them in a few month's time.
