Kyoto Red Carrot

Last year, this was my favorite! This year, they are all bolted. Planted same time each year. BUT, I'm not giving up. Am ordering another pack and doing a fall planting to see if that helps here in mid-Michigan. They are delicious! I can only recommend this to a friend if they are patient and likes to experiment with failures.

I love these carrots! As the directions say, you should plant in fall so they grow in the cold winter. Mine are not yet completely grown but the ones I’ve pulled are long and beautiful and deliciously sweet. I think I’ll do what other reviewers did and plant in July next year. I planted in October in a bed that is in the shade all winter. Can’t wait for them to be full size!

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.
