seeds
Daucus carota
Open pollinated. Yellowstone boasts a crisp clean flavor that has shown up well in our recent taste tests. Big-shouldered roots with large greenish-yellow cores grow up to 8" long, averaging 7". Productive in a wide variety of soils. Research shows that yellow carrots contain xanthophylls, pigments similar to beta carotene, that help develop healthy eyes and may help prevent lung and other cancers. Seed may have an organically certifiable coating.

Additional Information

Carrots

  • 500-1,000 seeds/g. Carrots average 18,000 seeds/oz with significant variations among varieties.
  • Days to maturity are from seeding date.

Culture: Very hardy. Early carrots can be sown by late April. For fall crop or winter storage, seed in early summer. Minimal germination temperature 40°, optimal range 75–85°. Can take up to 3 weeks to germinate; keep rows from drying out for faster emergence. Thinning is critical: At 3" high thin to ½" apart, at 6" thin again to 1-2" apart.

Diseases:

  • ALTS: Alternaria Leaf Spot
  • PM: Powdery Mildew
  • BR: Black Rot
  • TLS: Target Leaf Spot
  • LR: Licorice Rot
  • P: Pythium

ALTS shows up first on the oldest foliage as brown-black spots edged with yellow. Foliage blackens and shrivels as it develops and spreads. Maintaining a good crop rotation is the best preventive.
