Carrot - Culinary Mix - Daucus carota var. sativus
Biennial This mix contains equal parts of Solar Yellow, Lunar White, and Nantes carrots. Try juicing Lunar Whites for a unique colored carrot juice. Solar Yellow and Nantes are replete with nutritious pigments such as xanthophyll and beta-carotene. The seeds are not color coded.
Did You Know? Purple and yellow are the original colors of the domestic carrot. Red, white, and orange carrots were developed later.
Soil and Water: Grow in light, deeply tilled soils with plenty of added organic matter. Add some sand to promote straight growth. Carrots like good drainage and a pH range of 6.0-6.6 with regular water. Keep seeds moist during germination. Apply a mulch layer once established to keep roots cool. Thin the carrots to 3" apart.
Planting and Growing: Direct seed 2 weeks before the last frost in 3 week successions. Carrots can be grown almost all year except in climates with extreme heat or freezing temperatures. Mix the small seeds with dry coffee grounds or sand to improve seed distribution.
Harvesting and Storage: Trim off the foliage to extend storage time, but do not wash the carrots. Layer roots in a container with damp medium and store in cool, humid conditions or store carrots in the ground over winter under a layer of straw.
