Canada is a popular mid-ripening carrot variety from Bejo Zaden B.V. (Netherlands, Warmenhuisen). Suitable for cultivation on medium-heavy soils and under unfavorable climatic conditions. But on light soils, yields are higher, and carrots grow larger. Seed germination is high. From full germination to harvest (technical ripeness), 120 - 130 days pass.

An excellent variety for cultivation on clogged soil. We plant it in the beds the next year after the late cabbage. Since cabbage requires frequent watering, the soil after it is very clogged, and not all crops in this place take root well. But Canada feels great in this soil. Always high productivity, root crops of an even, oblong shape, bright orange color. Carrots have good taste. Well tolerates winter storage in the cellar.
This year she planted several varieties of carrots, including "Canada". I thinned out the planting in July, these carrots are already very large, powerful, the taste is excellent. I think that it will be even better before September - October. I really liked the variety.
After reading the reviews, Canada planted carrots for the first year. Carrots like sandy soil more. And I need a variety specifically for dense black soil. With a minimum of care: for the first time I thinned out the crops, weeded out and ran the aisle; the second time - weeded and spud. Not watered. The carrots were born wonderfully well: large, dark orange and sweet. Began to use for processing early, in the month of July. I don’t know how it will be stored. Winter will show.
A wonderful variety of carrots. One of the most fruitful for me. The only drawback is that there are few seeds in the package, and they are not the cheapest. But it's still better to pay more for a good variety and get a crop that will delight. Perhaps, on light, fertile soil, it grows generally gorgeous, but even on my clayey heavy soil, it turns out to be quite large and even. It is always nice to pull out a large carrot from the garden, clean, even, and besides, still sweet and juicy. And if you do not need a very large one, you can not thin it out too much, then it will be long and slender. I grind the very first part of the crop, planted early, in the freezer. Very comfortably. And I send the planted later to the cellar, it is stored excellently in the winter.
