A carrot for heavy clay soil

57 days. This broad-shouldered baby carrot is a favorite of specialty gourmet groceries, and a brilliant solution for gardeners who have clay soils or are limited to container cultivation. At only 4-4 1/2 inches long, this Chantenay type is undaunted by heavy soils that hinder longer-rooted varieties. The deep orange, conical carrots are uniform and delicious, with strong tops for effortless harvesting.

Called Caracus Carrot, available from Territorial seed company
I can't tell if this is a hybrid or an improved heirloom type, but it opens carrot production to alot more people.

This is good to know. We never had much luck growing carrots. They end up short and fat. I figured it was because of so much clay.
