Nantes 2 - Frubund

Chartenay Red Cored
Early Nantes 5
Paris Market - Atlas

Update as the result of a thread about blogging on the Grapevine 21/04/2017
What got me was the difference in the sowing and harvesting dates for some varieties, next year I intend to sow Nantes 2 - Frubund Sow ~ Feb - Oct Harvest ~ Apr - Nov in Feb and March the rest are from March. It's also made me think about what other carrots can be sown beyond the June July end date that most have?.

I also better remind myself that Sugarsnaps 54 F1 can be harvested well into the following year!
