Tips
This handsome scarlet sweet-tasting heirloom carrot dates from about 1870 although it has been often improved. This variety is a core-less variety. It is our favorite for eating and juicing, due to its flavor, crispness and juiciness. 6-7” cylindrical and blunt-shaped roots. It is a good keeper and retains its flavor in storage.
Direct seed this cool season crop when soil can be worked in the spring (soil temp at least 40+℉). Do first planting about mid-April and every two weeks till mid-July. 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep, 4 seeds per inch, thin to 2 inches apart.
