If you love the idea of pulling perfect little carrots from your own patch (and not wrestling with gnarly, forked monsters), ‘Baby Amsterdam’ is a solid choice. These carrots are bred to be harvested young as babies, smooth, slender and cylindrical, with deep orange flesh that’s juicy, crisp and very sweet. 

Bonus: they have minimal foliage, which means you can plant a bit more densely than fluffier-topped varieties. Want bigger carrots? Just leave them in the ground longer to mature. 
Faire

For best results, prep a well-dug, friable, free-draining soil, enriched with well-rotted organic matter and manure, and aim for a soil pH of 6.5–7.5. Plant in full sun and they’re best following a crop of nitrogen-hungry leafy greens.
