Testimonials
Sergey Ivanovich, 62 years old, Ural
For many years in a row I have been planting the Vitaminnaya 6 variety on my plot. I'm happy with the result. Considering the difficult conditions for agriculture in the Urals, it should be noted that I had no problems with planting, leaving and ripening carrots of this variety. I sow seeds in May. In the summer, I water and loosen the soil abundantly. In August, you can harvest, but I'm waiting for the first frost so that the carrots accumulate as much nutrients as possible. Root crops are quite large - 13-15 cm. They are stored for a long time.

Planting carrots of the "Vitaminnaya 6" variety has become relatively recent. Immediately fell in love with her 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 the carrots are grated on a fine grater, and then the resulting mass is lightly sprinkled with sugar or powdered sugar.
