$4.00

Yellow carrot from Doubs.  An old heirloom variety from France, but grown in Italy.  80+ days.  Long conical root (6-12 inches) with very little central core.  Exc. taste;  very sweet. Dates back to the 16th century. This rustic saffron-yellow French heirloom comes from the town of Doubs in the central East of France. Once used just for forage but then discovered for its culinary quality. A late variety that is a good reliable producer. The long tapered roots have a crisp texture and a lingering sweet flavour. Colour is more pronounced when cooked. Plant directly 1cm deep into prepared friable soil, spring to early summer in rows 15-20cm apart. Thin to 8-10cm and keep weed free
