My last row of carrots are normally 

sown in the first couple of weeks of August 

and let them over winter pulling as required.

This variety of carrot have never let me down.

Last years sowings I finished pulling 

in March of this year with very little damage

caused by slugs. You cannot beat the flavour

of freshly pulled carrots.
