Hiya

What would you recommend for winter storage carrots?

I was thinking Autumn King but Mole's say suitable for fresh and slicing.

I would really appreciate any advice.

Thanks again,
Herbie

What I'm looking at says they have good storage ability:

Autumn King

Lol, I think I got up to early today!

Yup, definitely going to chose Autumn King as my main crop.

Thanks DD

Autumn King are my mainstay carrots.

Wouldn't be without them.

Autumn King are my mainstay carrots.

Wouldn't be without them.

Me too,
Some of mine are still in the ground now and I will continue to harvest as and when needed.

I leave mine in as well. A few tops get nibbled, but there's plenty to go at.

I too vote Autumn King! Love the flavour too!
(If only all seed choices were so easy!! LOL)

I also really like Long 'Lisse de Meaux' that i grew last year- got the seeds from real seeds... its meant to have very long keeping qualities... but i ate all mine pretty fast!... they were lovely and sweet! I'd recommend them if you were looking to grow a second or different type. I'll be growing both this year!

I grew Autumn King and Early Nantes, and left them in the ground with fleece over them. They've survived the snow, and are still lovely and sweet when I harvest.

I tried storing the carrots in sand last year as I've seen recommended but they went dry and horrid.
