Now that it's March, we all know that spring is just around the corner. And with that comes preparation for gardening season. If you're looking to plant something special this year I've got just the thing for you. It's rainbow carrots.
Forget the boring orange variety and go for bold with all the lovely colors of the rainbow. They're not only pretty to look at but yummy, too.
So wouldn't it be great if I planted these in our garden and then just surprised him at the dinner table? Yes!
Red Core Chantenay, Scarlet Nantes, Kyoto Red, Snow White, Solar Yellow, Cosmic Purple, and Little Fingers are just a few of the types available.
They sell packages that consist of 350 non-GMO heirloom seeds that are grown in the United States. Wow!
The fabulous colors can range from dark reds to oranges and yellows, and even a shocking purple color. Nice!
When you get the seeds, you'll have to surface sow them onto rich compost and keep them moist to grow properly.
So make sure you plant them in the early spring or even fall for best results.
They also need loose, light, and airy soil. You should add sand to the soil for optimal conditions.
They're a fairly low-maintenance vegetable, so you shouldn't have too much trouble growing them in your garden.
My mouth is watering just thinking of munching on some.
