'Tendersweet' is an impressively long, slender, and nearly coreless imperator-type carrot, with a super sweet flavor that's excellent raw or cooked.

Peak harvest period lasts about 3 weeks, longer in the fall. Late summer-sown carrots are sweetened after having been kissed by light frost; however, harvest before soil freezes, which may destroy the crop. In USDA zone 5 or warmer, carrots can be left in the ground for storage provided they are heavily mulched; harvest as needed on days the ground is not frozen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecial Care:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWhen 1\" tall, thin to 2\" or 3\" apart, depending on variety. Don’t pull the seedling out, as this might disturb and damage the root of the neighboring seedling; instead, cut off the seedling at ground level with scissors. If carrot crown is exposed, cover with mulch or soil to prevent \"greening\", which results in bitter flavor. The same location should not be sown with members of the carrot family any more than once in 3 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShop with confidence when you shop at Southern Agriculture.
