Katrin is a superb open-pollinated variety with short, plump roots that reach around 12cm in length. They’re blunt-ended, easy to clean, and have that classic carrot flavour – sweet, earthy, and just as you remember. Harvest through summer and into autumn for a steady supply of fresh roots.
Sow: best sown April to July. Remember to dig the soil thoroughly. Sow sparingly to avoid the need for too much thinning. Sowing after late June can help your crop to avoid the worst of the carrot fly.
Grow: keep carrots moist and weed free – they don’t like the competition. Harvest is June to November: an early sowing can be ready from June; later sowings will take a bit longer and your last pull could be in November.
Enjoy: full of proper carrot flavour, Katrin is quick to prep – often just a rinse or scrub will do. Excellent for cooking or freezing, and a joy to eat fresh from the garden.
