| A nice little baby carrot with good flavor. I try to harvest when they are around 4 to 5 inches, though they than can grow larger if left in the ground. Over 6 inches they develop a pronounced core but are still quite tasty. Very reliable variety in my mild winter climate, but bolt quickly with higher late spring temps. Flowers attract lady bugs like crazy. |

| The little carrots were very sweet when we harvested them. The tops didn't have to get very big, and they took up little space. |
