These are tender, sweet and tasty. They are bright orange inside.I grow carrots now (nearly) all year round. When the first batch has germinated (this can take up to 3 weeks!), I try to sow another small batch. The best and biggest carrot is often left in the ground for seed saving. The flowers are incredibly pretty and great for attracting heaps of different insects.

I am looking forward to sow purple dragon carrot from Seedy Sunday this autumn!
Hope they do really well for you! :)
We can't 'grow' carrots all year round but we do store them over winter by leaving them in the ground under straw - until they start to shoot again they are fine and have even survived this winters extreme cold!
I grew some of these as part of an heirloom mix. They are so pretty and tasty.
GLA - Sounds like a good system. :)
Hazel - Glad you liked them. Are you growing them again?
