Yellow carrots were first recorded in Turkey around the end of the 1st Century. Yellowstone's wide-shouldered, 8 in.or longer roots have a crisp, clean, consistently mild flavor that's great raw or cooked. This variety has been selected for a uniform shape: big shoulders, pointed tips and large tops.

Yellow carrots contain xanthophylls to help develop healthy eyes and possibly prevent lung and other cancers. Delicious and unusual carrots like these are preferred by gourmets and chefs. Orange ones are relative newcomers, and diverse colors in carrots are coming into fashion.

Planting Instructions

Carrots must be direct sown.

For an early crop, sow seeds in spring as soon as soil can be worked. Choose a location with 6 - 8 hours of full sun, in light, sandy or humus, well-drained soil. Mix the amount of seeds to be sown with a bit of sand to facilitate even sowing. Firm 1/2" fine soil over seeds, keep moist until seedlings appear. Carrots take 14-21 days to germinate. Soak overnight in water to speed germination. When 1.5" high, thin to 1 - 2". Water weekly in dry weather. Make successive sowings every 3-5 weeks, depending on rate of carrot useage.
