Carrot 'Parisier Market' Seeds: The Golf-Ball Gourmet

Bring a piece of authentic French heritage to your patio or kitchen garden with the classic heirloom 'Parisier Market'(also known as Tonda di Parigi). This unique variety produces small, perfectly round, golf-ball-sized carrots (approx. $3\text{–}5\text{cm}$ in diameter) with exceptionally sweet flavour and smooth skin. Their compact, globe shape makes them the ideal choice for shallow soil, heavy or clay soil, and, most importantly, container and urban gardening, where deep roots struggle. Fast to mature and deliciously sweet when harvested young.

• Container Champion: Perfect for pots, window boxes, and raised beds, thriving where long carrots won't fit or struggle.

• Quick Maturing: Ready for harvest quickly, allowing for frequent successional sowing throughout the growing season.

• Kids' Favourite: The bite-sized, fun shape is a great way to encourage young gardeners and fussy eaters!

Gardener's Tip for Container Growing

Perfect Potting Mix! For the sweetest, smoothest 'Parisier Market' carrots in containers, use a light, fluffy potting mix amended with a little sharp sand or perlite to ensure excellent drainage. Do not use garden soil unless it is very light. Ensure you maintain consistent moisture; containers dry out quickly, and uneven watering can lead to splitting.
