Title: Strangely coloured carrots?
Post by: antipodes on October 09, 2009, 16:21:10
As usual, growing carrots is very tricky for me, thsi year I had about 10 so getting better. However they came out...purple! and orange inside! yet I did not sow purple ones! Any idea why this might happen?

They sound like "Purple Haze" carrots! Maybe the wrong seeds were placed in your packet!

I sowed some carrots on the allotment and some in the garden on the same day at the beginning of August.  Both lots germinated and but I still have hundred of little seedlings in the allotment and fewer than 50 in the garden.   Pesky slugs.
