Carrot Seeds, Uzbek Golden
Description
(Daucus carota). The delectable, lemon-yellow roots have a unique shape! These carrots have a fine-grained texture that is crispy and juicy with plenty of natural sugar. This variety hails from Uzbekistan and is popular across central Asia. Called “Mshak” in Uzbek, this variety is easy to grow in a range of soils and temperatures, and the flavor is superb. We love this as a snacking or cooking carrot, and in Uzbekistan and Central Asia it is an essential ingredient in plov, or pilaf, a signature dish of that region.

Growing Tips
The Uzbek Golden carrot, known for its rich flavor and vibrant yellow color, thrives in well-draining, sandy loam soil. It’s important to maintain consistent moisture throughout the growing season. This variety requires full sun, ideally 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily, for optimal growth. Regular watering is key to prevent the roots from becoming woody or splitting, and mulching can help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
When to Grow
Sow seeds in early spring, 2-3 weeks before the last frost, or in late summer for a fall harvest. In warmer climates, these carrots can also be planted for winter harvesting. The Uzbek Golden carrot can tolerate light frosts, making it suitable for both spring and fall planting seasons.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow seeds at a depth of 1/8 inch in rows that are about 12-18 inches apart. It’s important to thin seedlings to 2-3 inches apart to allow the roots enough room to develop properly. The soil should be loose and free from stones to encourage straight root growth. Carrot seeds can be challenging to handle due to their small size, so using seed tape or mixing seeds with sand can help with even distribution.
How to Grow
Maintain consistent moisture by watering regularly, especially during dry spells. These carrots typically mature in 75-80 days. They are relatively light feeders, so avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to excessive top growth at the expense of root development. Carrots grown in containers should be placed in a sunny location and watered more frequently due to faster drying out.
How to Save
To save seeds from the Uzbek Golden carrot, allow some of the plants to overwinter and flower in their second year. Once the flowers have dried, harvest the seeds, clean them, and store them in a cool, dry place. This variety is open-pollinated, meaning the seeds will produce similar carrots if saved properly.
