Carrot, Summer 'Pariser Markt 5'

Daucus carota

Very early variety.

Fun round carrot, perfect for the kids or as party snacks. Gives an abundant harvest and is a reliable variety. Produces small, round, orange-colored carrots with a wonderful flavor. Harvested very early. Ideal for use in Chinese cuisine. Do not sow too densely. Thrives in sun to partial shade in a deep, porous, humus- and nutrient-rich sandy soil. Keep the soil slightly moist after sowing until germination has started.

Summer carrots are varieties that are fast-growing, usually long and thin and with a fantastic sweet and juicy taste. Summer carrots are not the best for winter storage, and are best eaten straight away or frozen for later.

Pre-cultivation: Not recommended - carrots do not like their roots disturbed.

Direct sowing: Early, as soon as the soil can be cultivated - the end of June. Water in the seedbed before sowing. Keep the seed moist. Germination time 2-4 weeks. Covering with fiber cloth after sowing gives faster germination and prevents attacks from pests. Leave the fiber cloth on until harvesting.
