These are the first carrots I've grown. Got a slow start due to late freezes, and they haven't been fast growers, but they are still sweet and tender in late May and they haven't bolted yet, despite some very warm spells this spring. Nicer texture and flavor than my other carrot cultivar this spring, Purplesnax. Pleasing, regular shape, as well.

I planted in mid September and began harvesting in December to thin the plants. We continued harvesting until mid June. The plants exceeded our expectations in size and flavor. They keep stored in the fridge for a long time 30 plus days. High germination rate and disease resistant. Great performer.
