Carrot – Little Finger

Description

50-68 Days | These sweet, gourmet carrots are some of the best snacks I know. These carrots have cylindrical blunt, smooth deep orange roots growing 3″-5″ long with small weak tops and very little core. Harvest early for canning and pickling. These are suitable for container gardens, raised beds, patio gardens and other corners of the garden, due to their smaller size and shallow roots.

7-18 Days to sprout

Carrot seeds per packet: About 3,000

Carrot seeds per Oz: About 18,000

Carrot seeds per Lb: About 280,000

Any good soil is suitable. It is a good plan to plant a few radish seeds with the carrot, as carrot starts slowly and the radish marks the rows so they can be cultivated before the carrot comes up. Plant rows same distance apart as beets and thin to about 4 inches apart in the row, or, if from 2″-4″ apart, they need not be thinned. Cover about 1″ deep. Cultivate often and thoroughly. Sowing may be made as early in the spring as the soil can be put in good condition, or up to June 15 to 20.
