Kinko 6" Chantenay Carrot

Daucus carota Days to Maturity: 55 We are excited to introduce you to a wonderful rare carrot gem-- Kinko!! This 6" Chantenay carrot is now incredibly rare in the USA, and we hope to help it make a deserving comeback! We were entrusted  with these seeds by our dear friend Penn of Miss Penn's Mountain Seeds, who received the seeds in the early '90s from seed breeder Bill McDorman, who obtained the seeds from Japan. Like many seeds, it's been on a long migration around the world, passed through many caring hands!  Highlights: So crisp and sweet! We love how the roots can remain in the ground for many months and not get pithy/woody-- the crispness stays intact! Their conical shape is excellent for growing in challenging soils including clay, rocky and poor soil. We had a lot of fun selecting the best roots for your seeds and re-planting them the next spring. Carrot seed takes two years to grow and this has been a labor of love. You must try this wonderful carrot and pass it along to your
