For many years in a row I have been planting the “Vitaminnaya 6” variety on my plot. I'm pleased with the result. Considering 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. In August you can harvest, but I wait until the first frost so that the carrots accumulate as many nutrients as possible. The root vegetables are quite large - 13-15 cm. They are stored for a long time.

This year I completely switched to the “Vitaminnaya 6” variety. The characteristics fully correspond to those stated on the packaging. Root crops grow large and juicy. The first harvest can be harvested as early as August. These carrots have a long shelf life.

Planting carrots of the “Vitaminnaya 6” variety began relatively recently. 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 pulp, when carrots are grated on a fine grater, and then the resulting mass is lightly sprinkled with sugar or powdered sugar.
