Carrot Little Fingers 200 Seeds

Baby gourmet carrot, colour develops quickly. Can pull early, 8-9cm x 1-2cm cylindrical blunt roots. Very small core, smooth skin, deep orange colour, small weak tops. Developed for canning and pickling whole. Must be harvested early.

A hardy root vegetable which grows well in deep cool soil. Carrots take about 3 weeks to show themselves and the first leaves look like grass . If broadcast sowing, mix with radish seeds which will germinate quickly and indicate the sown area. In hotter or dry areas, water well before seeding then cover with boards to maintain the moisture and cool soil for more successful germination. Check every week or so.

Over fertilised ground will produce split roots. Protect against carrot fly. It is best to put carrots in a different area of the garden each year for four or five years.
