Need recommendations on a sweet carrot
 
I starting to look at planning for next year or, in this case, perhaps this fall. I am looking for a sweet carrot - the sweeter the better - that I can grow in a container. If "soil" is needed, I can accommodate that. Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.

Chantenay is sweet. It's not too long either and it's cone-shaped, so if the soil in the container isn't very deep or gets a little heavy/dense, it should still do OK. The only thing is, if you want a nice uniform-diameter carrot for carrot coins or sticks, the cone shape is hard to work around. The flavor is hard to beat though.

I'll vote Scarlet Nantes for a sweet carrot.

Paris Market is very sweet. It's the size and shape of a golf ball and would work great in a container.
