The Yellowstone is a luminous return to those roots: a long tapered root 20-25 cm, with smooth skin and brilliant canary-yellow flesh that holds its colour even after cooking. A modern variety, it combines the hardiness of the old yellow lines with the consistent form expected of a serious garden carrot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flesh is crisp, juicy, and remarkably sweet — less earthy, less \"carroty\" than the classic orange varieties, which often makes it a gateway for reluctant kids. Magnificent raw in sticks, sublime roasted in the oven where the sugar caramelizes and reveals almost floral notes; it also brings a graphic touch to soups, gratins, roasted vegetable medleys and pickling jars. Excellent keeper in the root cellar under damp sand, or in cold storage all winter long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrower's tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carrots are slow to germinate (14-21 days) and hate the soil crust that forms after a heavy rain — the young shoot can't break through. Sow shallow (1 cm maximum), water in a fine mist, and cover the row with a board or floating cover to keep moisture in until emergence. Above all, no fresh manure, and deeply loosened soil with no stones: the slightest obstruction makes the root fork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen-pollinated. Biennial: flowering only occurs in the second year (overwinter for seed production).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop height: 30-40 cm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaturity: 70-75 days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExposure: full sun.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoose, deep soil (at least 25 cm), sandy to loamy, free of stones and free of fresh manure. Thin to 5 cm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect-sow as soon as the soil can be worked (late April\/early May in Québec). A second sowing in July is possible for fall harvest and winter storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dam Seeds","offers":[{"title":"40","offer_id":38053802541228,"sku":"GC-O-CARYS-40","price":0.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"200","offer_id":41389324796076,"sku":"GC-O-CARYS-200","price":3.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1000","offer_id":42088788623532,"sku":"GC-O-CARYS-1000","price":12.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5000","offer_id":42088788656300,"sku":"GC-O-CARYS-5000","price":39.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"25000","offer_id":42088788689068,"sku":"GC-O-CARYS-25000","price":99.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/1388\/8684\/products\/yellowstone_bba7d254-21c1-43ac-8b46-ebe58beda2bc.jpg?v=1698701265","url":"https:\/\/joualvert.ca\/en\/products\/yellowstone-carrot-seeds","provider":"Joual Vert","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
