Which Carrot Variety?

I normally grow a Nantes early in the year (or Amsterdam Forcing if I am really early ...). They seem to do OK.

However ...

I was watching Dan's Allotment Diary (quality stuff his Videos - mind you don't spend the rest of the night watching them now, eh?!) and he swore by Carrot Sweet Candle as being the best flavour he has come across - and not to mention the fact that his were a foot long Grrrrr!!

Anyone tried them? Got other recommendation? Perhaps I should stop growing the "obviously easy" ones and go for max. flavour

I'll be growing Early Nantes as usual but will also be growing Autumn King for the first time...said to be good for storing and keeps well in the ground has a high yield ,good size and good flavour....what could go wrong

 

'Resistafly' were good when I grew them last year, it's the only carrot I've grown though.

 

I found Sweet Candle in the garden centre the other days, so treated myself to a packet. I'll let you know later on if they are as good as the hype I was lured by

 

sweet candle are grown by all showmen. both for size . quality and size. also taste is second to none. cheers wrinkly1
