Carrot (Daucus carota 'Sweet Rocket Hybrid') - Description

Full sized carrots reach 8" in about 70 days. If you like baby carrots, you can maximize garden space by thinning out plants as they mature. Strong tops make pulling them up from the ground a breeze. This variety is a great source of beta carotene. Similar to Orange Rocket in size and color but with a sweeter taste. GARDEN HINTS: Sow seed in deep, well-worked stone-free soil. Do not transplant as crooked roots may result. Sow directly in the ground after danger of heavy frost in the spring. Grows best in full sun.
