Description

Highly commended by the Royal Horticultural Society, UK. It is the first genuine autumn sowing carrot, exceptionally early and cold resistant. It will give you carrots in your garden in the spring when nobody else has them and when they are fetching high prices in the shops. A very important autumn sowing vegetable breakthrough.

Sowing Instructions

Sow from late winter to autumn in drills 1cm (½in) deep, spaced 30cm (12in) apart.

Winter sowings for a really early crop can be made in a coldframe or greenhouse.

Aftercare

Continue sowing until mid or even late autumn in mild spells. Harvest late spring onwards.

Nutritional Information

Carrots make a healthy, nutritious addition to your daily diet. They are high in Vitamin A and beta-carotene, and rich in antioxidants.
