Little Finger carrots are a gourmet’s delight. These smooth, 10cm-long roots are tender, sweet, and full of flavour – perfect when harvested young, from just 8–9 weeks after sowing.
SOW: at no more than 10mm deep from March to August, but early spring before mid-March or from July can avoid the worst of the carrot fly. For early sowings warm the soil with the cloches before sowing or wait for warmer weather. Dig the soil thoroughly first & sow sparingly to avoid the need for too much thinning.
GROW: start pulling after just 8-9 weeks. Keep moist and weed free – they don’t like the competition.
ENJOY: best eaten fresh from the soil while still small and sweet. They’ll keep for up to two weeks in the fridge, or can be frozen – blanch whole baby carrots or slice larger ones before freezing in portions.
