Burpee Touchon Carrot Seeds 3500 seeds

I planted these and carrot "Short and Sweet" in my garden in summer 2007. I didn't have high expectations for the Touchon because of my heavy clay soil, but I needn't have worried because still had great yield. I was impressed that these were sweet and tasty at any size. Even when I let them grow very large, they didn't have the fiberous texture you often find. Some of these carrots grew to be enormous, which was fun to show visitors- should have entered them in the fair! I recommend these and something like "Short and Sweet" for two different flavors, sizes, and textures. I'll definitely plant them again.

We recently purchased a small greenhouse for our yard. Woodchucks make a normal garden almost impossible. The Burpee carrot seeds are the perfect type for the greenhouse. They sprouted in a very short time and are very healthy. Their short length works well with the bed we planted them in.

I planted these carrots in a thrown-together small raised bed made of scrap fence pickets very late last season. The carrots apparently laughed at our ridiculously mild winter here in Oklahoma - though it got down to the teens - and when things started warming up? I was pleasantly surprised to see them take off again. Little did I know the small tops hid some BIG carrots underneath! In the middle of February? Couldn't believe it. Surely they would taste "weird." On the contrary! They were crisp and wonderful. A very mild, not-so-sweet carrot flavor that I really like. I planted a ton more in larger bed and can't wait to get more this spring. I'll replant in the fall for another surprise bounty like this year! Love this carrot!

These are hands-down the best carrots I've grown. They are deliciously sweet, tender, and crunchy, even at the largest size. Just as an experiment, I left a few in the ground from my spring planting until late December. Some of them were down right enormous, but still as tender as can be! See the attached picture (ignore my Christmas glitter manicure). I grew these in a mixture of our native topsoil and compost (courtesy of yard waste, kitchen scraps, and our small flock of chickens). For me, there's no reason to grow any other variety!

My first attempt at growing carrots EVER. We planted these Touchon carrots AND the baby (Caracas) variety. We started them beginning of March (Zone 9b) into above ground planters my husband built. I tossed the thought of using fertilizer around a bit but in the end chose not to. NEVER even had ONE pest so didnt have to use any poison/spray whatsoever. It was SOO rewarding to harvest as a family (invited my parents over for the pickin' party) Picked em. washed em up quickly, and chowed down. Healthy snacks directly from the garden. I read some reviews--people complaining about an earthy flavor but that was just NOT the case for me. The baby carrots were super crisp and sweet, while these Touchon carrots were large, crisp, sweet, and RICH. Dare i say they are even better tasting than the ones we buy in the stores. I dropped my seed in one by one (so i wouldnt have to worry about thinning later) 50 of these Touchon carrot seeds were planted and we ended up with 45 carrots. I always buy Burpee for their FANTASTIC germination rate!! Im pleased ALL THE WAY AROUND! Doing it again in the fall!!!

I was sowing these in mid-August. They germinated really good, and harvested a couple mid November. I harvested more yesterday (end December), and they were great! We have clay soil here (which I did loosen up a bit), and they did good! The carrots come in various size... But as I clean them, I eat the babies as snacks and keep the bigger ones... also for snacks :p Harvest keeps going on throughout the coldest winter months. In my garden next year for sure!

It was hard to bring these into the house. I love carrots, and would eat a couple every day right from the garden as they became ripe. This is my favorite carrot of all, sweet, carroty goodness.

My 11-year-old son and I planted these carrots together this past spring and harvested them today (about 4 months later). They are very easy to grow. Although we had a few very tiny carrots (which we fed to our rabbits), some of the larger ones were close to the size of store-bought carrots. The flavor is very sweet, not the "dirt" taste I remember from garden-grown carrots when I was a kid. We will definitely grow these again!

A nice reliable carrot, with a good solid top for easy harvesting. It could be sweeter, but trades that lack of sweetness for good solid growth and a massive girth if left in the garden long enough.

First time planting carrots. Judging by other reviews, maybe I harvested them too soon. Didn't seem very productive and they took forever to grow. Maybe growing carrots isn't my thing.
