What is the significance of the numbers after the names of various veg
varieties?

I sowed more carrots today, and whereas the old packet had said "early
nantes 2", the new packet is "early nantes 5"

What'r the difference?

Steve

Hopefully this site will help a little, although it does not make real
sense.
