Description
The "Baby" cultivar of the Carrot (Daucus carota) is a gourmet treat with its bite-sized roots, offering a delightful balance of sweetness and crunch. Known for their tender and succulent nature, these carrots are a staple in many gourmet dishes and salads. They are not only a gardener's delight for their ease of growth but also a culinary favourite for their superior taste.
"Baby" carrots thrive in a sunny position with well-drained soil and are versatile enough to be grown in the ground, pots, or vege/herb gardens. For those planting in sandy or nutrient-depleted soils, it's beneficial to mix in a soil conditioner to offer these carrots the best start. As Birak (summer) transitions to Bunuru (late summer), it's an excellent time to fertilise with a vegetable-friendly formula. From planting, these carrots typically take 50 to 60 days to reach their prime harvesting size. For the freshest taste, pull them from the ground when they're about finger-sized, ensuring a delicate and sweet flavour.
