I plan to plant some of these in my garden. The colors will spice up my stir fry.

Amazing array of colors, MM! I sooo love carrots! Must have been Bugs Bunny in another life … I chomp and chew on them while chopping them for a veggie dish or a salad … more end up in my mouth (and my son’s! He’s Bugs, too!) than in the dish itself hahaha

Thanks for sharing.

Mel: when you plant carrots, plant along side the carrot row…onions or leeks or herbs…the carrot rust fly will leave your carrots alone! I can guarantee you that! For cauliflower, broccoli or any brassicas, celery is the guard plant of choice…Trust me on those. It really works!

Nothing beats the original orange carrot in taste and texture. I have also planted the white and purple variety but did not really like them-they just don’t meet my expectations of what a real carrot should be:) The purple one loses some of its color when cooked and dominates the color of whatever dish you’re cooking, when eaten fresh, it’s a bit tougher than the orange one. Good thing about this purple carrot, the carrot rust fly (an insect) doesn’t seem to like it as much as it does the orange one.
The white one naman, looks more like a raddish.
