Carrot Varieties

Tonda di Parigi Carrots

I looked up the name via Google Translate and Tonda di Parigi is Italian for Round of Paris.

Best Features:

1) These carrots are great for roasting, grilling or snacking.

2) Tonda di Parigi are shallow rooted so you can grow them in the ground or in a container.  This winter I am going to try growing them inside in my grow room in a container.

3) They grow to about 2 inches wide  and long – how cute!

4) This carrot is considered a French heirloom but has an Italian name – not sure why!

5) As with all homegrown carrots, they are sweet and tender.

6) You only need to space them 2 inches apart – love saving space.

7) Tonda di Parigi will tolerate heavy soils too!
