Since this is our 1st try at carrots, we'll try another variety for comparison.  -  Thursday, January 01, 2009 Long Lasting Taste Reviewed By: Mike (Lebanon, PA) As others have noted, carrots are slow to germinate and slow to grow. They do germinate MUCH better if you keep the soil moist not letting it dry out. I planted tendersweets in May of 2008. My parents visited over Thanksgiving digging out some of the ones from May. They were HUGE in size! So large I thought they would be hard and tasteless, but I was mistaken! These carrots were still VERY TASTY being an inch to inch and a half in diameter. I am not a big carrot eater, but I eat these!  -  Sunday, January 04, 2009 Stored extremely well... Reviewed By: Rebecca (Garland, ME) I agree with the other reviewers that this carrot was slow to start and slow to mature. It wasn't very sweet, but it was very tasty. After the fall harvest, I stored them in plastic bags in the vegetable drawer in my refrigerator and they were still tasty and fresh the following May. We had garden carrot cake almost year round. Last year I tried a kaleidoscope variety. Bland and boring...this year I'm coming back to the Tendersweet!  -  Wednesday, February 18, 2009 best we have found Reviewed By: rg (schenectady, ny) We grew these for years, then decided to try others over the last couple of yeard. We will go back to Tendersweet again this year. They grow the best in our sandy soil, very long and tasty. If you leave them in for a touch of frost they sweeten up even more.
