Organic Carrot Seeds — 'Rainbow Blend'
Overview Everyone’s favorite root crop, sweet crispy carrots are even more amazing when freshly harvested from your own garden. They are available in a variety of colors including orange, purple, yellow and white. Carrots are rich in beta carotene, vitamin C, and potassium, and are a good source of dietary fiber.

Deep, loose, and fertile sandy loams and peat soils with good moisture-holding capacity grow the straightest and smoothest roots. Till (loosen up soil) down 12 inches and make sure there are no rocks, stones, or even soil clumps to impede your carrots’ growth. Avoid amending the soil with nitrogen-rich material such as manure and fertilizer, which can cause carrots to fork and grow little side roots; instead, work in old coffee grounds.
