Good germination rate. We thinned and re-planted the seedlings and they did well. Many were an odd shape, stunted and crooked, some grew a second root. They were juicy and sweet.

Germination wasn\'t bad and produced a good crop despite leaves initially being eaten, leaving the stem and ribs. They recovered nicely but some of the tops were eaten above soil line leaving carrots in the ground.

Great carrot. Produced very well, even in my gravelly clay soil. Carrots get very big by the end of the summer, but stay tender. Wait until after a good hard freeze to harvest for maximum sweetness. Very brittle texture, must be hand-dug. Keeps reasonably well.
