The brighter the carrot, the more carotene it contains.

First, decide in what period of the summer season you need carrots.

Characteristics of carrot varieties in terms of ripening speed:

The fruits can be stored for a long time and delight you with their freshness and taste in winter, but you can start harvesting early enough. Suitable for regions with cold climates. The average period of growth and ripening of fruits from the moment of planting is about 4 months. Subdivided into mid-early, mid-season and mid-late varieties
Late	Focused on long-term storage. The ripening period varies on average from 130 to 150 days. Taste is not lost during storage. The harvest is completely harvested, usually in September.

Carrots are a source of carotene, which gives them a bright orange and sometimes even reddish color. That is, the brighter the carrot looks in the picture shown on the package with seeds, the more of this useful substance in it.

By the way, carrots come in different colors - from almost white to black.

Foreword

Selected seeds largely determine the future harvest and the safety of root crops. Do not be surprised if the crop began to rot in the fall - most likely, you have chosen a variety that does not have a good keeping quality. Let's figure out which carrot seeds can qualify for the title of "Best varieties".

Carrots - the best seeds and proven varieties

In the spring you will not see anything on the shelves: bright pictures, tempting names, imported manufacturers, new items of the season. However, if experiments do not appeal to you, and the result is needed from year to year, stable, you should choose zoned varieties - those that are adapted to the climate in your area.

Among other things, you cannot rely on just one type of seed and one firm. If you want to eat fresh carrots already at the beginning of summer, you should buy early varieties - they are not suitable for long-term storage, but they will provide you with tasty root vegetables before anyone else. The middle ones give a harvest for the summer-fall, but the late ones should be planted if you plan to stock up for the winter. In addition to the choice of seeds, the cultivation technique also affects the safety of your crop.

The later the seeds are sown, the better the crop will be stored.

Therefore, experienced gardeners sow carrots before winter, which they want to see on the table in summer, in spring they sow carrots for autumn consumption, and from the second decade of May they sow seeds from which root crops grow for storage and winter consumption. Carrots, which were not fed with nitrogen fertilizers or watered in the summer, are best stored.

Which carrot seeds are better to plant in spring - early varieties

For a reference point, let's take the area of ​​the Moscow region. There, such carrot seeds as Incomparable, Nantes-4 and Callisto have proven themselves well - according to many gardeners, these are really the best varieties.

• The incomparable is known for good germination and yield. Long roots are high in carotene and can be stored for a long time.
• Nantes 4 is distinguished by the cylindrical blunt shape of the fruit - with a length of up to 15 cm, the weight of each root crop reaches 150 grams. Very juicy and tender pulp. Well stored, the seeds are suitable for winter sowing.
• Callisto is one of the longest varieties. Root crops can stretch more than 20 cm. Sufficiently tasty and productive carrots.

Of other varieties in different latitudes for early sowing, Artek, Konservnaya, Rex have proven themselves well. The latter has large roots up to 200 grams and is excellent for fresh consumption and canning.

Medium varieties - getting ready for autumn

With averages, everything is very clear - most gardeners will tell you the seeds tested over the years: Vitaminnaya 6, Losinoostrovskaya 13, Shantane 2461. Less often they sow Moscow winter, NIIOH 336.

Moscow winter also has high taste, if necessary, it can be sown even in late autumn. NIIOH 336 is irreplaceable in baby food, for juicing and fresh consumption.

Carrot seeds - the best late varieties

Of the late ones, the Queen of Autumn occupies the leading position in the rating of the love of gardeners. And they love her for consistently high yields and high keeping quality. In addition, it is juicy and tender, and the roots are large. For many regions, Yellowstone is a yellow carrot variety with high yields and good taste. The shape of the root crop is fusiform, with a sharp tip.

But Perfection is shaped like a cone with a blunt end. This orange-colored variety gives stable yields from small (up to 130 g) root crops.Late varieties are well stored, but for this you need to create good storage conditions. Best of all, root crops lie in bulk, layered with sand taken from quarries... If the humidity in the cellar is high, you can put the carrots in boxes and also sprinkle them with sand. You can not use the sand left over from last year, always sprinkle the roots with new ones.
