Mini-carrot, Caracas

Info: The non-hybrid mini-carrot is something very special. It is short, conical in shape, with a slightly sweet aroma and orange color. With these properties, it can not only be grown in the vegetable bed, but also in the balcony box, and also in heavy soils, which are unsuitable for longer carrot varieties. Grown in the balcony box and tubs, one harvests small snack carrots.

Care: Sow directly in place from late March to early June about 1 cm deep. In the vegetable bed, maintain a row spacing of about 30 cm, 4 - 5 cm in the row. In the balcony box, only one row. Keep sowing constantly moist until germination! Later, thin out seedlings if necessary.

Use: They can be eaten as they are, which is why they are very popular with children. Carrots are a healthy snack; enjoy them cut into sticks with a cream cheese dip. *Suitable for freezing*

Gardener's tip: The mid-late mini-carrots are harvested after about 95 days. To shorten the waiting time, we recommend simultaneous sowing with radishes.
