Solvita can boast so many positives that we think it could easily become your favourite carrot. Sweet taste, aromatic, strong early growth, can be pulled young or crop in the autumn or pulled from the ground over the winter! The roots are blunt ended, slightly conical and medium long – easy to wash, peel and slice.

SOW: from March to July, for a succession of these lovely carrots sow a little every 3 weeks. For early sowings from mid-Feb use cloches to warm the soil and protect your seedlings. Remember: first dig the soil well. Sow sparingly (seed depth no more than 10mm), 150 seeds sufficient for 2m. Carrots often germinate unevenly over a period of several weeks…
GROW: keep moist and weed free – they don’t like the competition.
EAT: start pulling young carrots when you can’t resist them any longer! These are great in salad or cut for dips. The main crop is autumn, and you can leave some in the soil right into the winter before pulling when ready to savour fresh winter veg!
