Well known for their crisp, sweet flesh and cylindrical shape, this blunt-ended variety grows to 20cm in length. Ideal for succession planting in smaller gardens to help ensure a constant supply of carrots.
Sow direct in a Sunny, well drained position. Cover with Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix, firm down and moisten. Thin after 4 weeks. Sow successive crops at 4-5 weekly intervals.
Cultivate soil well before sowing as deep, well-drained soils give best results. Add Yates Thrive Natural Blood & Bone to soil before sowing to help ensure a good crop. Protect from snails and slugs.
Great companion plant for beans, coriander, cucumber, marigold, lettuce, peas, radish, rosemary, sage & tomato. To aid germination, maintain consistent moisture by laying a plank of wood over the row. Remove the plank immediately after germination.
