Which is the sweetest carrot? I have grown both Mokum hybrid and Carrot Fly Away hybrid. The Mokum is by far the nicest of the two. Are there any that taste better?

[stompy]

Are you asking about just fly resistant varieties or all?

I have never grow fly resistant so can't comment on them but i have grown a few others  and in my opinion it's Early Nantes picked young.

They are so sweet that my 3 year old emptied several buckets of them after tasting one

All really

Chantenay, chantenay and chantenay.

sweet candle f1 and the early nante ones

Early nantes & Amsterdam - neck & neck

Chantenay, chantenay and chantenay.

Got to agree, but they all taste mch better than supermarket bought especially when small and young

Is that  Carrot 'Supreme Chantenay Red Cored'?

Has any one else grown mokum

They taste wonderful fresh from the ground (after a wee wash of course)  :happy:

Just chantenay red cored on my packet but possibly the same.

I'd be intersted how those Mokum do in pots, surely not as good as it looks on the link :happy:

[Grubbypaws]

They are in pots and have been simply delicious, mainly eaten dipped into my husbands home made houmous  :happy: Really sweet and juicy. No carrot fly either; they are completely in the open although I did scatter a few spring onions in with them

Mr Fothergill's Chantenay red cored 2.  Might try the "supreme" next year and see how they compare.

Early Nantes have been great in the tubs this year 
Autumn Giant at the ready for the next sowing

[DD.]

Autumn King?

[mumofstig]

probably.............you know what my memory's like   

[SUTTY1]

They are in pots

Have u managed to get the 6/7inch roots in pots and if so how deep where the pots?
I grow my carrots in pots/buckets/ bath tubs, mainly trying to keep away from the fly but only crop small'ish roots and they all get eaten in season.

As always on a search for a type that will grow, in buckets pots etc,  to a size worth storing.
