"This is the first year I've tried this blend of seeds. I run a community garden at the local community college. The plot where we have our garden is terrible soil, all heavy clay with lots of rocks. These seeds performed wonderfully, with the majority sprouting and giving me some 6" long carrots of all colors, even in the hard, rocky soil! These carrots are flavorful with a wonderful aroma when picking them fresh. I've used them in salads and as part of a fresh veggie platter. I would definitely recommend these to others. The only complaint I could make would be that the purple carrots aren't purple all the way through. You just have to be gentle when washing so you don't rub off the outer purple layer. Other than that, these were great!"

"For some unknown reason, I had never planted carrots before so these would be my first try. These carrots were so easy to grow! All the seeds seemed to take and the carrots were delicious and hardy and the carrot tops were abundant and great for soups, etc. I loved the variety of color even though no, the purple ones weren't purple all the way through (would have been really neat though). I really liked these!"

"We planned to sell these carrots to a local gourmet restaurant but it didn't work out that way because: 1. The purple carrots matured a week or two before the remaining types, so it was impossible to assemble a "bouquet" of same-size carrots with all the colors. 2. The purple carrots have only a very thin skin of purple on the outside, which rubs off easily when washed. On the inside they are orange."
Would recommend: No
