This is the first year I have tried this variety of carrot and I am sorry I waited so long! It's a small carrot - perfect for salads or snacking or stir-fry. And it's so tasty!
It's perfect for our area and soil type (which can be somewhat heavy). It can also be grown in containers under a grow light. I know we are planning to grow some this winter!
