Parisian Carrots are also known as Parisian Heirloom Carrots, or, more commonly, Tonda di Parigi. They’re small, about the size of the average radish, & round, & at first glance, you may just think you’re looking at a teeny pumpkin. These are actual carrots, grown from heirloom seeds in France & Belgium. in addition to being an engaging conversation piece, they’re exceptionally easy to prepare, & as sweet as any carrots you’ve ever tasted. SOWING Sow: May Carrot seeds are small, but it’s wise to plant them as thinly as possible. This reduces the amount of thinning necessary & potential risk from pests. Mix the seeds with a handful of sharp sand & sow the seeds & sand together. Sand will also aid drainage. Once the seedlings are showing their first rough leaves, thin to 5cm (2 in) between plants. Once the seedlings are showing their first rough leaves, thin out to 10cm apart which minimises competition & enables the carrots to grow quickly to harvest size.
