You can grow carrots well into fall and winter. I have had three harvests, so far this year and only started planting in late spring. The paris market variety is especially good for fall and winter…so so extra sweet after a crisp frost!

Hi Kath: Yes! I found the same thing about carrots. One needs to be patient with carrots, as they can take a while to germinate and grow, but these healthy root vegetables are worth the wait. This variety is especially good for hard and rocky soil. Good luck with your garden, and thanks for visiting Seasonal Wisdom.

I grew these carrots this year. They took ages but when mature were great. I am planting some more hoping it won’t be too hot for them. Thanks for the info. Kath.

Hi Teresa,
I just bought these seeds from Seed Savers & am eagerly awaiting their arrival. While I am waiting (aside from preparing the veggie bed for planting lol) I found your site while I was looking up growing tips for this cutie carrot. Super glad I did too 🙂 Very informative and love your site, merci beaucoup! Will let you know how they did here in Florida’s zone 10b 🙂
best wishes,
Sheri

In reply to Kira.

Hi Kira: Not sure where you live, but the summer was late in some places. Keep in mind that ‘Paris Market’ carrots never get very big, but they should have gotten an inch or so bigger than that. Carrots can take a while to germinate, depending on the temperatures. So those ripening dates are only guidelines. You can overwinter carrots, so you might want to grow them longer. Keep in mind you can also sow more carrot seeds now for a harvest in winter or early spring. Good luck! Teresa
