Growing Info
Harvesting: For best flavor and texture, harvest carrots any time before, and until they reach their optimal size. Peak harvest period lasts about 3 weeks, longer in the fall. Late summer-sown carrots are sweetened after having been kissed by light frost; however, harvest before soil freezes, which may destroy the crop. In USDA zone 5 or warmer, carrots can be left in the ground for storage provided they are heavily mulched; harvest as needed on days the ground is not frozen.

These germinated wonderfully! The red carrots matured the fastest - still waiting on the purple variety! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with our Carnival Blend Carrot Seeds! It's exciting that your red carrots are already maturing - the different varieties in the blend do develop at their own pace, so your purple ones will be worth the wait! We love hearing about gardeners' success with our seeds. Keep on growing 🌻️
