Carrot , Chantenay 'Short & Sweet' (Small & Chubby for heavy / poor soil)

Daucas carota v. sativus, Small & Chubby for heavy or poor soil.,  68 days. A true darling of the carrot world, this bright orange, stout little root proves far sweeter & more satisfying when lifted fresh from one’s own garden. Its chubby, stubby form gathers admirable virtues: a pleasant sweetness, reliable growth in shallow or poorer soils, &, when required, a steady capacity for storage. It excels in containers & patio pots just outside the back door, where its cheerful 5–6" roots may be plucked at leisure. A quick & obliging do’er, best sown in gentle succession every three weeks until sixty days before the first autumn frost, ensuring a merry parade of crisp, glowing little carrots — each one appearing with the jaunty confidence of a tiny performer stepping onto the garden stage., Seed Count Approx - 300 avg
