Reviews from gardeners

Reviews speak volumes. Since our country is large, the regions differ significantly in weather conditions.

Maria Vanina, Tula

We are growing “Abledo” for the second year, sowing the seeds in May. Carrots are durable and tasty. I first encountered this hybrid when I learned that these carrots are sold on the market in the fall. She lies very well. We conducted an independent experiment: if you germinate the seeds in advance, they sprout better, about 95% of which you get in the form of beautiful carrots. If you just sow, 80 percent of it is guaranteed to sprout. In my opinion, this is the only negative.

Vasily K, Voronezh

Our family doesn’t need a lot of carrots, so I buy two bags of Abledo and plant them at the dacha in May. I harvest in September. For some regions, there is no point in growing late varieties, because they take a long time to ripen. I know that early ripening varieties are highly valued in the Urals, but they are poorly stored, and “Abledo” lasts until spring. Of course, sometimes we have to sort it out, but we do the same with potatoes. Carrots are tasty, juicy, and are used everywhere. It is convenient to clean, since the roots are long and smooth. Orange color. By the way, the packaging states that Abledo can be grown in greenhouses.

Vera Kochetova, Nizhny Novgorod

Abledo carrots were grown last year under film. Usually we take early ripening ones, but I liked this one due to its keeping quality. They kept it in the cellar for their grandchildren, so that in winter they would always have their own vitamins on the table. Carrots are tasty and the yield is good. Germination failed a little, about 90% of the carrots sprouted.

Conclusion

The Abledo hybrid is ideal for the Central region, where it is included in the State Register. The only negative is the need for seed germination and a long ripening period, which is more than compensated for by its excellent keeping quality.
