(Daucus carota) If you like your carrots sweet, plump, juicy, and crunchy, look no further than ‘Solar Yellow.’ These sunshine-yellow carrots grow roots that reach 6-7" in length, starting broad and tapering to a small point. Perfect for juicing, blending into soups or sauces, or tossing into a salad, these beautiful, all-purpose carrots get their yellow color from the pigment xanthophyll, which supports eye health. 70 days.

Instructions -Sow seeds outdoors 3-4 weeks before last spring frost or as soon as soil can be worked. Tamp soil firmly; keep bed moist until emergence. Germination is slow and uneven, so be patient. Using spun polyester row covers may improve germination rates.
