I buy my seeds from the store as have a small garden and have never seen Mokum before. Since it is sweet in summer I would like to try it. Will have to keep my eyes open.

I'll be looking at fall carrots for the late maturing varieties but that's ok - they are sweeter than anyhow. I hope that your krauchi works as planned.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-14466544193514928922015-06-23T21:13:53.211-04:002015-06-23T21:13:53.211-04:00It seems to take forever for carrots to grow here,...It seems to take forever for carrots to grow here, so I'm probably a couple of months away. I didn't mark where my three varieties were, but it should be obvious - one was a rainbow mix, one variety is Nutri-Red (very dark orange) and then the Nantes.

But we eat most of ours cooked, and they all are pretty tasty then.

I've been thinking of getting one or two of those airlocks (instead of the weigh-it-down and release-the-gas method I've used in the past) but they are so pricey I'm waiting to see what you think of your results.Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-21145428010685016992015-06-23T08:08:49.460-04:002015-06-23T08:08:49.460-04:00Nelson and Mokum are the two varieties I am growin...Nelson and Mokum are the two varieties I am growing this year, and were 2 of the 3 last year (Danvers being the 3rd). I found Mokum was recognizable because it was skinnier than the other two, but that could be a function of "knowing" it should be picked young. You are right, Nelson has a complex "carroty" flavor that is really enjoyable.Eight Gate Farm NHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877942009419912353noreply@blogger.com
