So why are carrots orange? Read this short blog post from The Kitchn for the answer. 

I’m especially pleased with this seed mix from Renee’s Garden.

The purple carrots have a bright orange center and add punch to a simple green salad.

Go to the World Carrot Museum to read History of Carrots–A Brief Summary & Timeline.

If you garden in a warm winter area you can probably plant carrots starting in late September. Trader Joe’s in our area carries a tricolor organic carrot mix to give you another chance at purple carrots.
