Medium length, high quality, blunt-ended roots. Sow fortnightly, crop from spring to autumn. Recommended for deep freezing. RHS Award of Garden Merit winner.
Sow Outdoors: February-August thinly ½in (1cm) deep in shallow pre-watered drills, in soil that hasn''t been manured in the last 12 months. Keep soil moist at all times. (Protect early sowings with cloche or fleece).
Thin Out: 2in (5cm) apart. Avoid crushing the leaves as the scent attracts carrot root fly.

Carrots do best on light, stone free, fertile soils.
Surround the carrot bed with a barrier of fleece at least 60cm high to keep low flying carrot root fly from your crop.
