Aromatic sweet flavor, high content of vitamins and minerals, especially carotene. Very good for storage, until March. Suitable for freezing.

Growing tips

Sow thinly, 0.5-1cm deep in rows 30cm apart, cover with soil and keep moist. Germination after 14-24 days at 10-20°C. Likes sunny, airy location and humusy, deep, rock-free, sandy garden soil. Hoeing and weed control are important. Keep evenly moist to prevent bursting. Mix cultivation with onions against carrot flies and/or cover with a cultivation net. Singling may be necessary. Do not fertilize with manure or sow on freshly fertilized soil. Keep weed free. For marking, radishes can be sown in the rows at sowing time, this also prevents later singling.
