| We had wonderful germination with the carrots this year. Other than tops sometimes breaking off when pulling, these produced beautiful, straight, bright orange carrots that our youth group loved to eat right out of the ground. Not as large and productive as some varieties, but a reasonably good, medium-sized carrot. |
