Description
A much improved cultivar of the Paris Market type of carrot with almost spherical, golfball sized roots.
Excellent colour and flavour and perfect for container growing, or for those with shallow soils, due to its shallow rooting.
Although an Early variety, it can also be used as a Second Early or Maincrop.
- Sow February - April (under protection) or April to August outside in the open.
- Sow thinly in rows 12" (30 cm) apart. Sow in ½" (1 cm) deep drills.
- Thin out to 2" - 3" (5-7.5 cm) apart when large enough to handle - make sure you eat the thinnings!
Top Tips
- A useful tip to deter carrot fly is to water the rows with our BioFriend Plant-Defence when you thin or hoe your carrots - this will keep the fly away! And always remember to dispose of the thinnings - left on the ground they can attract carrot fly.
- As an alternative, always keep plants covered with insect netting.
- Carrots left in the open ground or stored in clamp beds should be covered with straw to protect from frost.
