Why Choose Carrot Rainbow Blend?
- Five distinct colors: Grow Lunar White, Solar Yellow, Cosmic Purple, Orange Danvers, and Atomic Red for a colorful harvest display.
- Varied flavor and texture: Enjoy a range of sweet, earthy, mild, and lightly spicy notes across the different roots.
- Garden-to-table appeal: The colorful carrots make everyday meals, crudité platters, and market-style harvest baskets more interesting.
- Heirloom and open-pollinated: Grow traditional varieties and save seed from properly isolated plants.
- Non-GMO seeds: Produced through traditional breeding rather than genetic modification.
- Cool-season flexibility: Carrots are useful for both spring and fall sowing in many growing regions.
Planting Tips for Success
- Sunlight: Choose full sun with about 6–8 hours of direct light each day.
- Soil: Use loose, well-drained, rock-free soil with a pH near 6.0–6.8. Remove clumps and stones to help prevent forked roots.
- Planting: Direct-sow about ¼ inch deep, 2–3 inches apart, in rows 12–18 inches apart. Sow 2–4 weeks before the last spring frost or 10–12 weeks before the first fall frost.
- Thinning: Thin seedlings to about 3–4 inches apart once they are established. Crowded carrots tend to produce smaller or misshapen roots.
- Watering: Keep the seedbed consistently moist during the 14–21 day germination period. Once established, water deeply as needed.
- Fertilizing: Use moderate fertility and avoid excess nitrogen, which can encourage leafy tops instead of strong roots.
- Pest management: Watch for carrot pests and use row covers where appropriate. Rotate crops to support garden health.
- Harvesting: Harvest when roots reach the desired size. A light frost can enhance carrot sweetness, but lift roots before the ground freezes solid.
