Yellowstone carrots
By Sandra Astin 03-10-2010
Highly recommended variety, have grown them for 2 years now. Flavour is very good and sweet, especially when roasted. Some of the crop looks more like a parsnip when pulled, thick and long.

Sowing Instructions

Sow March to June. Sow seeds thinly, 1cm (½in) deep in drills 15cm (6in) apart. Can also be sown under cloches in January/February for earlier cropping.

Growing Instructions

Thin seedlings when large enough to handle to 5cm (2in) apart to reduce risk from carrot root fly.

Grow Spring Onion White Lisbon next to carrots as the smell helps deter Carrot Fly.
