Purple Sun Carrots

[Mamsoth]

Just planted up some lovely Purple Sun carrots. On the seed packet it says 135 days to mature, but I've also seen alot of different places suggesting 70-80 days. Has anyone grown these or have any knowledge as to how long I'll have to wait for these little beauties?

Cheers

Carrots seem to have a mind of their own, some follow the rules on the packet, but not many, germination is the tricky bit, my first sowing was great second not so good and needed re sowing. I have grown the different coloured ones, but have to say they don't seem quite as vigorous as some of the more traditional orange ones.
