Kyoto Red Carrot

Not sure why these didn't work well for others, but they were my favorite. The carrots grew well, when I didn't expect them to. Took a while for them to mature, but they did get mature in this Michigan climate. They ended up far sweeter than my orange variety. But wow! $4 a pack? No can do!!! Will have to search for a cheaper variety.

I planted these in Spring and had no problems with them bolting as others have said. As far as the flavor, I just wasn't very impressed... the other varieties I grew were much more tasty and tender. The color was cool, but I tend to value flavor above all else, and this just wasn't the best varitey I've grown in that aspect.

This carrot grew well in my garden and looked good but when eaten it is tough and full of fiber. I pulled the whole row and threw them away.

This is an awesome carrot. I'm buying more to grow again.

The carrot produced well with the challenging year of being too wet and too cool. The carrot grew well in my area, grow zone 4. With the carrot being quite long it requires a raised bed or a mounded row in the field so that it can grow in a somewhat soft medium. I would agree with the other reviewers that it is a late season crop. I had planted it in mid July.
