An excellent finger or baby carrot. The succulent roots are smooth and cylindrical with a blunt stump root. Ready only 9-10 weeks from sowing when approx 10cm (4in) long.
When to plant: Winter through to Autumn
How to grow: Sow thinly, 6mm (quarter-inch) deep in rows 30cm (1ft) apart. Keep moist; seedlings emerge in 6-10 days. Thin out to 25mm (1in) apart and water well to replace any soil dislodged from roots. On clay soils add sand and organic matter - liquid feeds every few weeks will promote faster growth but do not overfeed particularly with fertilisers high in nitrogen. Harvest: Start pulling early to spread harvest
