Don't know how well these store, because we finished them off by Christmas! Will have to plant more this year! They did very well in the heat from an early sowing. Very sweet, good texture. nice size. Great for sticks and salads as well as cooked!

Carrot - Autumn King* Vita Longa Seeds 1020-2395

Standard Packet

Long rooted maincrop, stores well.

Sow Outdoors: April-June sow thinly ½in (1cm) deep in shallow pre-watered drills, in soil that hasn't been manured in the last 12 months. Keep soil moist at all times.

Thin Out: 2-3in (5-8cm) apart. Avoid crushing the leaves as the scent attracts carrot root fly.

Harvest: September-February

Carrots do best on light, stone free, fertile soils. Stores well into winter.

Surround the carrot bed with a barrier of fleece at least 60cm high to keep low flying carrot root fly from your crop.

Can remain in the ground over winter
