A Bit Bitter Raw, Great Cooked,
January 20, 2009 Submitted byGardenGirl88 from Twin Valley, MN
"I planted these because I wasn't having success with other varieties. They came up and grew great, but when I pulled and cleaned them up for fresh eating I was very disappointed. They had quite a bitter taste.
I cut them up and blanched them for freezing, and tried them a while later for a meal. I couldn't believe they were the same carrot I had tried raw. They were great!
I am definitely going to plant more of these, but am also going to plant another variety to hopefully get a better carrot for fresh eating."

WOW,

"This is my first attempt at carrots because my clay soil is so poor... but they did GREAT! I have had loads of fresh carrots this season, so I will probably grow these again next year. For those of you worried about your soil... mine is probably as bad as it gets. I have almost all clay and rocks, and I still had tons of carrots. Good luck!"

"I had a great success with these carrots. I sow half of the packets in my soil, which is not the best, and 3 days after seedlings were out. I didn't do anything special just water them and I had tasty and crispy carrots all summer long. My daughter ate them for afterschool snacks out of the garden. Highly recommend for first time gardeners."

"I planted a packet of these little carrots thinking that I would be lucky if half of them came up. Since my soil is a bit hard and compact, I was very impressed with germination. However, my resident groundhog ate the tops right after germination and I thought that this was going to be the end of my carrots. In a few weeks, the tops began to reappear and within 50 days or so, I started thinning and eating baby carrots. Now it's the middle of September. I've been digging and eating carrots all summer, eating them raw with ranch dressing, chopped for salads, sliced and steamed, and grated for bread and muffins. The flavor is still sweet and the carrots are not pithy. So take that, groundhog :)"

"These carrots really suprised me, i thought with my hard clay soil they wouldnt be very big, well much to my surprise they grew to a good size and fat. I didnt mulch my soil this year so it got harder than normal, the carrots did good. Plant and enjoy a very tasty carrot. Only wish i planted more."
