The carrot 'Paris Market' is a very early variety with small round orange roots with a gently sweet aroma. It needs only about 60-75 days to reach maturity and is due to the size quite well for growing in planting containers on a balcony or terrace.

It is crispy and tastes very sweet. An early variety that's really fun and also tolerates heavy soils.

Ideal germination temperature: From +3°C
Germination duration: Carrots need very long, 21-27 days on average. That's why it's recommended to mix the seeds with either radish seeds or dill seeds. Both germinates clearly faster and marks a row so that the care of the sowing gets easier. By harvesting the radish that is ripe earlier, the rows are pruned automatically. The dill should also be removed when it has reached a height of approx. 25cm.
Row spacing: 30-45cm
Planting distance: 3-5cm
Location: Sunny
Soil: Sandy-loamy, deep, loose, and stone-free soil. This variety prospers very well in loamy soils.
Care: Carrots are moderate feeders and don't tolerate fresh dung. Only use ripe compost for fertilizing. Carrots like to be kept moist and often need supplementary irrigation on sandy soils during the hot summer months. Weeding out is crucial while the plant is still young as the tender plantlets are overrun with weeds fast. For good results, the soil should be loosened regularly. Especially after strong rain when it tends to clog.
Harvest: Most often from May to July. There's no clear sign of maturity.
Family: Umbellifers (Apiaceae)
