About Little Finger
Little Finger is a small, slender Parisian-market type sometimes grouped with Nantes carrots, grown for baby-sized roots and fine texture. It is sweet and tender, making it especially good for fresh snacking.
Growing Little Finger Carrot
This variety is best harvested young rather than grown large. Sow thickly for baby carrots, or thin more carefully if you want uniform miniature bunching roots.
