Round, from Paris

I've finally found a carrot I can grow successfully, Tonda di Parigi. Yes, it is supposed to be round. Though my soil is not the compact stuff this carrot is designed to tackle, it does help when you loathe to thin that this variety can grow pretty close together. Plus, look how cute!

I was more vigilant with the thinning this spring, and my carnival blend did better, too. The purple ones are especially gorgeous (with orange inside), and they were delicious roasted.
