Vegetable Seed, Territorial Seed, Carrot, Daucus Carota Var Sativus, Mid-June to July Planting, 1 g

If you appreciate fresh carrots, you must try this one. Crisp, yet very easy to munch. So brittle and delicate, in fact, that it has to be hand dug, as it cannot withstand mechanical harvesting. Enjoy mokum as a baby carrot or as a full-size 6 to 8 in tasty treat. Very rich in vitamin A and high in sugars. Striking orange roots with contrasting thick dark green tops. It's still the finest fresh-eating carrot we know.
