Vintage Half Length is a traditional carrot with smooth cylindrical roots, bright orange-red flesh and excellent sweetness. The smaller root size makes it ideal for heavier Irish soils, containers and raised beds where longer varieties might fork.
If your soil is heavy clay or stony, this is your carrot. Part of the Vintage 1928 range with the original Franchi catalogue artwork on the packet. Sweet enough to eat raw straight from the garden.
