The yellow & orange carrots are absolute rubbish, not fit for human consumption. But since it is available throughout the year, why not stuff them in our gobs for the sake of it!

Today I found out, before the 17th century, almost all cultivated carrots were purple.The modern day orange carrot wasn’t cultivated until Dutch growers in the late 16th century took mutant strains of the purple carrot and gradually developed them into the sweet, plump, orange variety we have today. Before this, pretty much all carrots were purple with mutated versions occasionally popping up including yellow and white carrots. These were rarely cultivated and lacked the purple pigment anthocyanin.

Not trying to be rude but carrots were originally purple all the way through and on the outside, red was a color later developed I'm the 17th century.

I live in Albuquerque NM and I have the same problem as Mike. What does grow doesn't get very big and then dies off. I thought that maybe it is too hot here?

I'm in southeast Texas and can't get even carrot plant to grow for me...I've tried starting them inside, outside but in a small greenhouse, and straight in my small patch of ground I have to grow in...any advice for me? I've tried three different varieties...I can get some to sprout but never grow past a couple of inches tall and then they just die. Thanks for your informative videos!

It's actually just grassy area that runs down the slope of the hill, next to the steps.
