| 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. |
