Description: Carrots come in a wonderful array of colors, sizes and varieties, and provide delicious nutrition from early summer through winter. Wild carrot, which grows worldwide, shares the same genus and species with domesticated carrots, although archeologists deem it unlikely that one developed from the other. Present day, sweet rooted, orange carrots probably had their roots (pun intended) in Afghanistan at least 2000 years ago and were probably purple and yellow. Carrots store well in the ground under a thick layer of mulch or, alternatively in damp sand placed in a cool environment that does not freeze. Nutrients: vitamins A, C, D, E, K, B1 and B6, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorous.

Guidelines: Growing: A frost tolerant biennial that is direct seeded in full sun, early spring through early fall. Carrots can be succession planted for sustained harvest throughout the year. Established fall plantings may be stored in the ground over winter until needed or for an early spring harvest. Plant Seeds: 1/4-1/2"deep with 1/2" between seeds, in rows 12-16" apart.
