Deservedly well-known, rich, orange/red-fleshed carrot, crisp and sweet. Excellent for a very early and successional sowing. Described as an intermediate, stump-rooted variety.
Carrots prefer a deep, rich well drained soil which does not contain fresh manure or compost. Sow spring to mid summer in drills 1cm (½in) deep, spaced 30cm (12in) apart.
As soon as the seedlings are large enough to handle, start thinning them out so that they are finally 10cm (4in) apart.
The last thinnings should provide trender roots just large enough to be used. Harvest late summer and autumn.
