Hello there, root veggie enthusiast and color aficionado! Are you looking to add a burst of sunny color and deliciously sweet flavor to your harvest right here in your Prescott garden? Let me introduce you to Carrot 'Yellowstone', a truly unique and vibrant variety that's sure to brighten up your plate. Imagine pulling up long, smooth, bright yellow carrots from the soil, boasting a fantastic crunch and a surprisingly sweet taste that kids and adults alike will adore!
Carrot 'Yellowstone' typically grows to a lovely length of 8 to 10 inches, forming straight, tapered roots with a rich golden hue. The feathery green tops reach about 12 to 18 inches tall. This variety is a wonderful choice for adding visual interest and a mild, earthy sweetness to your cooking. Like all carrots, 'Yellowstone' thrives in full sun, needing at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily to develop its best color and flavor. While deer usually aren't major carrot munchers, a healthy, deep-rooted patch is always your best defense.
To ensure your 'Yellowstone' Carrots flourish and produce those beautiful, straight roots, plant them in loose, well-draining, and stone-free soil. Then, apply a light layer of Watters Premium Mulch over the soil surface once the seedlings have emerged. This is crucial for retaining consistent soil moisture – which carrots love – keeping the soil cool, and suppressing weeds that compete for vital nutrients. For robust growth and impressive root development, feed your carrots every 3-4 weeks once their tops are actively growing, with 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food. This balanced nutrition will help your 'Yellowstone' Carrots thrive and bring a cheerful burst of color and sweetness right to your table!
