which carrots
« on: January 04, 2006, 17:20:22 »
Which carrots should I grow for flavour and a good crop? 

Last year I grew Early Nantes 2 (Early) and Resistafly (maincrip).

The Early Nantes gave a really good crop but were quite bitter. The Resistafly tasted yummy but only grew about as big as my little finger.

Any ideas?

Incidentally, the Resistafly were full of carrot root fly.  This is probably because I took my eye off the ball and didn't give them any protection (thinking they were root fly resistant).  The Early Nantes which I protected with garlic  spray were hardly touched at all.

Whoops, sorry everyone.  I thought I was in "edible plants" when I posted this.  I didn't mean to post it in pests and diseases.  Have now reposted it but do not seem to be able to delete it from this section
