This is a work-in-progress, as I haven't cooked with all the varieties yet! I'll update every now and then. I'll also be keeping a record of the storage viability of each. Many of the ones I am growing are Hardnecks, which don't necessarily have long storage traits (Softnecks store for longer*). I found it hard to track down information on most of the varieties quite difficult to non-existent, so hopefully keeping a record of how I have found growing, storing and cooking with each variety might be of use to others.
When it comes to taste, remember, this is all just my personal opinion, and my taste buds may be quite different to yours!
Thanks again to Patrick from Bifurcated Carrots for giving me many of the varieties that I now have to play with!
