Its compact, almost spherical shape makes it immediately recognisable and particularly useful where soil depth is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe small roots have a sweet, crisp texture and excellent flavour and have long been prized for their presentation in the kitchen. Sought after by chefs and restaurateurs, they are beautiful roasted or glazed whole, steamed, pickled or served fresh when harvested young and tender.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike long-rooted carrots, Thumbelina does not require deeply cultivated soil, making it an excellent choice for containers, raised beds and gardens with heavier or shallower soils. Loose, fertile, well-drained soil will still produce the smoothest and most evenly rounded roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 400 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Most of the year, with best results autumn to spring\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Spring to autumn\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Spring to early autumn, avoiding periods of heavy frost\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow directly where plants are to grow, approximately 5–10 mm deep.
