CARROT-PARIS MARKET (TONDA di PARIGI) is a small round Carrot that matures extra early. This 19th Century French Heirloom variety still deserves a place in the kitchen garden. It is only 2.5cm to 4cm in diameter when fully mature. This variety is ideal for growing in shallow soils where longer rooted carrots fail to perform successfully.

We purchased the business in November 2018 and renamed it to ABSeeds (All ‘Bout Seeds) to make the title shorter and represent what we hope to achieve with this business in the years ahead.
Seeds that we can’t grow ourselves we will acquire from people who grow for us, or we may purchase seeds from reputable heritage seed companies.
