Little Finger Baby Carrot
Growing Little Finger Baby Carrot
‘Little Finger’ is a charming open-pollinated gourmet carrot prized for its petite size, tender texture, and naturally sweet flavor. The bright golden-orange roots are short, plump, and nearly as wide as they are long, making them especially attractive when cooked and served whole. This variety also tolerates close spacing well, making it a productive choice for smaller garden spaces.
Sow ‘Little Finger’ directly in the garden about ½ inch deep. Space plants 2 to 4 inches apart and grow in full sun to partial shade. This cold-tolerant variety also performs well in containers.
Ready to harvest in about 62 days, begin checking the roots as they approach maturity and pull them once they reach your preferred size while they are still crisp and tender.
Sweet, tender, and perfectly sized for the kitchen, ‘Little Finger’ is especially well suited for canning, pickling, creaming, and serving whole.
