Carrot Burpees Short n Sweet Seeds from Mr Fothergill's Seeds and Plants.
Sweet, crisp and ideal for containers, a tasty and richly coloured carrot, bred for heavy and poor soils, plus it’s high in natural sugars.
Excellent source of vitamin A and antioxidants.
Easily sown direct in the garden. Sow little and often for a continuous crop.
Sow & Grow:
Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 1.5cm (1/2") deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Allow 30cm (1') between rows.
Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Thin by harvesting young carrots evenly from the row, allowing the remainder to grow on. Water well until plants are established.
Regular sowings made every three weeks will ensure a continuous supply of young roots.
Roots can be lifted in autumn. Remove soil and store in dry sand.
