Carrot , Chantenay 'Short & Sweet'

Daucas carota v. sativus, Small & Chubby for heavy or poor soil.- 68 days. This is one of those real cuties of the carrot world, and one of those short and stubby vegetables that tastes so much better when picked from your own garden. This bright orange chubby stubby carrot is considered an excellent choice by tossing together the best qualities such as sweet flavour, good growth in shallow and poor soil situations and if need be, storage ability. It's even better in a container or patio pot just outside the back door! And a good quick do'er at 5" - 6" long, so best with successive sowings every 3 weeks until 60 days before the first Autumn frost date., Seed Count Approx - 400 avg
