• Four packet sizes: Choose the quantity that suits a small bed or successive sowings.

What Are Pelleted Seeds?

Each seed is coated to create a more uniform shape and make sowing easier. Keep the seedbed evenly moist while the coating softens and seedlings emerge. Learn more about pelleted seeds.

Planting Tips for Success

• Choose seasonal timing: Direct sow in spring or late summer for fall harvests, adjusting to local weather and frost dates.
• Prepare loose soil: Remove stones and hard clumps and loosen the bed deeply enough for long roots. Use a suitably deep container if planting in pots.
• Sow shallowly: Plant approximately 1/4 inch deep in fine soil. Keep the surface consistently moist while pellets soften and seedlings emerge.
• Allow room for roots: Thin seedlings to about 4 inches apart. Packet size refers to seed quantity, not different spacing requirements.
• Provide sun and moisture: Choose full sun and water evenly without leaving the soil waterlogged.
• Feed moderately: Follow soil-test or fertilizer-label guidance and avoid excessive nitrogen. Carrots do not require stakes or cages.
• Harvest gently: Begin checking around 75 days. Loosen soil before lifting roots at your preferred size and tenderness.

Lemon-Parsley Roasted Yellowstone Carrots

Use harvested Yellowstone carrots for this simple yellow-carrot side dish. Ingredients are harvested vegetables, not seed-packet contents. Serves 4. Prep: 15 minutes. Cook: 25 to 35 minutes.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds harvested Yellowstone carrots
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 400°F. Wash carrots under running water, trim, and peel if desired.
2. Halve lengthwise, quartering thick carrots so pieces have similar thickness. Cut extra-long pieces to fit the pan if needed.
3. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
4. Roast for 25 to 35 minutes, turning halfway through, until fork-tender and lightly browned. Check thinner pieces early.
5. Toss with lemon juice, lemon zest, and parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving warm.

Recipe Tips and Storage

For a buttery finish, add a small pat of butter while the carrots are hot. Allow thicker pieces extra cooking time rather than crowding the pan. Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F, and use within 3 to 4 days. This is a cooked side dish, not a tested canning recipe.
