meant to add that I grew Purple Haze last year (and will be growing them again this year). They have purple skins that keep their colour when cooked. They werent massive but they were very tasty  :)

I did try Sugarsnax F1 as well last year, but I was not that impressed. This year I am going to try St Valery and James Intermediate, hopefully they will become favorites :)

I was also disappointed with Sugarsnax though  I did grow St Valery for the first time last year in bucket containers.  They were long thin carrots.  If you intend to skin them then there may not be much left to cook......  They grew successful but too thin for me so will be skipping them in future.

I imagined them to be long but stocky, perhaps because they are a heritage variety! Never mind, and luckily I don't usually peel my carrots
