It grows for 140–160 days, which is why it stores so well – in a cool cellar, it remains firm and juicy until spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eIn brief\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e late carrot, Berlikumer type\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRoot:\u003c\/strong\u003e cylindrical, dark orange, non-cracking\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDirect sowing:\u003c\/strong\u003e April (for summer and autumn), May (for storage)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e September – October\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e sunny, light and deeply loosened soil\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e easy – a vegetable garden classic\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSeeds per packet:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 4000 (5 g)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eWhat makes this variety stand out\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfekcja is one of the most reliable late carrots in Polish gardens. The Berlikumer type produces long, uniform, cylindrical roots with a small core that peel neatly and cut evenly – they look good both on the plate and in a jar. The variety is high-yielding, uniform and relatively resistant to cracking after heavy rain, which is especially important for late carrots harvested in October.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts greatest advantage is its storage life: roots harvested in autumn keep for many months in a cellar or clamp without wilting or losing their flavour. They can also withstand brief frosts down to –2\/–3°C while still in the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eGrowing step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eSowing (April – May, directly into the ground):\u003c\/strong\u003e sow in April for a summer and autumn harvest, and in May for winter storage. Sow the seeds thinly in rows 30–40 cm apart, 1–2 cm deep, in light soil that was deeply dug over in autumn (fresh manure in spring causes forked roots). Seedlings emerge after 2–3 weeks – during this time, do not allow the soil to crust over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eThinning:\u003c\/strong\u003e when the seedlings are 2–3 cm tall, thin them to 5–8 cm apart within the row. Do this in the evening or after rain, and immediately cover the row with soil so that the smell of crushed leaves does not attract the carrot rust fly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eCare during the season:\u003c\/strong\u003e weed regularly (carrots grow slowly in the first weeks and are easily outcompeted), loosen the soil between rows and water evenly – alternating drought and heavy rain is the most common cause of cracked roots. Cover any green shoulders with soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eHarvesting and storage:\u003c\/strong\u003e for storage, harvest late, in October, on a dry day, preferably after light frosts, which increase sweetness. Cut off the foliage right at the crown, do not wash the roots, and place them in boxes of damp sand at a temperature of 0–4°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis carrot is ideal \u003cstrong\u003efor winter storage\u003c\/strong\u003e and everyday cooking: soups, salads, slaws, roasted vegetables and \u003cstrong\u003epreserving in jars\u003c\/strong\u003e.

In the garden, it grows well alongside onions and leeks – their scent discourages the carrot rust fly, while the carrots deter onion thrips in return.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eGardener’s tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f5f3ee; border-left: 4px solid #656B39; padding: 12px 16px; margin: 1em 0;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eCarrot seeds are tiny and take a long time to emerge.
