Description

Baby carrot/mini carrot/small snack carrot, very sweet, juicy and crunchy. Short, conical shape, with sweet aroma and orange color. Ideal as a snack in between meals (very popular not only among children). Belongs to the "Chantenay" varieties. Can be stored well. Also in the balcony box and on heavy soils, which are unsuitable for longer carrot varieties.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Sow finely every 4 weeks, 1 cm deep, in rows 23-30 cm apart, directly into the open bed. Germination 10-20 days at 12-15 degrees. If necessary, thin out seedlings later to a distance of 2.5 cm in order to harvest small, sweet carrots. Thin out to a distance of 5 cm to harvest larger carrots. They thrive best in deep, stone-free sandy soil.
