Going to be growing these this year

hi,

i'm growing these too, can't wait! I got some yellow carrots from the real seeds site and some red samurai carrots from suttons too, so i'll have the whole carrot rainbow (along with regular orange carrots too for good measure).

I've only got boring orange ones to sow but I'm going multicoloured with loads of other stuff

Have you seen the Jamie Oliver show where he talks about growing carrots? He says the seeds he buys are a mixed pack - all different colours. That seems pretty cool, you never know what you're going to get! His sowing method is a little, ahem, weird though, he dollops hundreds of seeds into a tiny space. As casually cool as his cooking!

Yeah, but he has got a gardener who probably tidies up his mistakes!

The story goes that all carrots were purple until the Dutch decided to breed them orange as a tribute to the House of Orange. I don't know if it's true or an urban myth, but it sounds good

It seems there is some truth in this story
