How to Grow Carrots - Linda Gray
PREPARATION
There are a number of different types of carrots including shorter fatter varieties that can be grown in containers if your garden space is limited.
As long as carrots have enough depth of soil to fully mature, any pot or container will work, as long as it’s well-drained and gets enough water.
There are many different varieties of carrot. These are just a few available at Thompson & Morgan (at time of writing) I think they only do UK deliveries at the moment.
Carrot 'Rainbow' F1 Hybrid
This colourful mix brings together F1 Hybrids in some of the best shades resulting from unique breeding over many years.
Carrot 'Rainbow' produces a diverse range of skin and core colours that are all packed with vitamins. Perfect for adding a splash of colour to cooked dishes and salads. Height: 30cm (12). Spread: 15cm (6
).
