Yellowstone Carrot
70 days to harvest
Daucus carota var. sativus
We love these long, deep yellow roots with tall, vigorous leaves that outcompete weeds better than most carrots. Yellowstone Carrot keeps her color fabulously when cooked and stores well into the New Year for us, as well.
Carrots are not easy to grow, so if you struggle, you are *so* not alone! Hop over to Fruition’s blog, Growing Carrots with Confidence, to boost your skills and reap the rewards of the challenge.
