Main orange carrot crop is Touchon, the carrots aren't huge but you get good 
serial crops in the same bed all season.

The colored carrots are pretty much the same cultivars sold under various 
creative names.  I recommend Baker Creek as a source and there they are 
called, 
since you are an astronomer,  Solar Yellow, Lunar White, Atomic Red, and 
Cosmic 
Purple.  Baker Creek's carrot seed are ungraded and so when they say you get 
600 seeds, it is more like 2000.
