Description

Late planting your garden? Shin Kuroda is quite heat resistant, so don t hesitate to sow in late spring, and even into the summer (when you might be doubtful about sowing carrots). Shin means new in Japanese, which alludes to its improved, tapered, 5 -long roots with wide shoulders, that grow through heavy soils with ease. Simply unsurpassed for flavor—one of the sweetest carrots you will eat!

    Growing Info

    • Harvesting: For best flavor and texture, harvest carrots before they get larger than their optimal size. Peak harvest period lasts about 3 weeks, longer in the fall. Late summer sown carrots are sweetened after having been kissed by light frost; however, harvest before soil freezes, which might destroy the crop. In USDA zone 5 or warmer, carrots can be left in the ground for storage provided they are heavily mulched; harvest as needed on days the ground is not frozen.
