Sugarsnax F1 is a tender, sweet variety with excellent flavour that holds up even when fully mature. It’s ready to harvest in 12–18 weeks, though you can pull earlier for baby carrots. This variety offers good disease tolerance and is naturally high in beta-carotene, adding extra appeal to its bright, healthy roots.
SOW: 10mm deep from March to July. Dig the soil well & sow thinly to minimise the need for thinning. Sowing in early spring before mid-March (warm the soil with the cloches) or late June/July can avoid the worst of the carrot fly.
GROW: Keep moist and weed free – they don’t like the competition. Sugarsnax can be harvested early as baby carrots or allowed to mature for 12-18 weeks.
ENJOY: delicious fresh from the garden and great for snacking or cooking. Keeps well in the fridge for up to two weeks, or freeze in portions – blanch whole baby carrots or sliced larger ones for easy meals later on.
