Kuroda starts here. This open-pollinated carrot makes smooth, uniform conical roots about 6 inches long for late-season harvest.
Sow 1/4 inch deep, thin to 1 to 3 inches apart, and keep the soil evenly moist until sprouts show in 6 to 14 days. We like it sown from 3 weeks before the last frost into mid-summer in loose soil free of stones.
