For many years in a row I have been planting the Vitamin 6 variety on my site. Satisfied with the result. Given the difficult conditions for farming in the Urals, it should be noted that I had no problems with planting, caring for and ripening carrots of this variety. I sow the seeds in May. In the summer, I water abundantly and loosen the soil. You can harvest in August, but I wait for the first frosts so that the carrots accumulate as many nutrients as possible. Root crops are quite large – 13-15 cm. They are stored for a long time.

Planting carrots of the “Vitamin 6” variety has become relatively recent. I immediately fell in love with its rich sweet taste. Root crops grow large and juicy. It is very good to use this variety for making juices. Children enjoy eating it raw. They especially like carrot gruel, when carrots are rubbed on a fine grater, and then the resulting mass is lightly sprinkled with sugar or powdered sugar.
