Carrot - Babette The Carrot Baby Babette, 'Daucus carota var staivus', is a gourmet mini-carrot that was bred in France. The foliage is very strong and will not break off when pulling it up. Did you know that grocery store carrots are actually cored regular carrots? Once you try the sweet and crisp flavor of this "true" baby carrot, you will never look back. Babette is a 4 inch long carrot with a smooth and cylindrical and very uniform shape with a deep orange color even before maturity. Carrot seed germinates in soils as cold as 45 degrees, but performs best in warm soils. The first sowing should be 2 to 4 weeks before the last frost. Do successive planting every 3 weeks until 70 days before the first fall frost. In very warm climates carrots are grown primarily in the fall. The single most important factor in growing carrots is to have a deep, clod and rock free, well drained soil. A 50% peat moss mix with the soil is ideal. Even moisture is essential. |
