Varieties of carrots for Siberia should be characterized not only by excellent qualities, but also by cold resistance, resistance to sudden changes in weather. The article describes in detail the best varieties for growing in cold climates.
Early varieties zoned in Siberia
Varieties belonging to this category give an early harvest. Ripening of early varieties varies from 60 to 90 days. They have two main disadvantages: low productivity and a short storage period of root crops.
Alenka
