Title: Re: [Market-farming] Yellow [and purple] Carrot Recommendations

That’s interesting…Nelson and Napoli both do well here (I actually prefer Napoli over Nelson), Bolero is my storage variety, and my first trial of Sugarsnax was a winner, but the Chantenays have never wowed me. Maybe something in the soil…

Purple Dragon does well for me. On the other hand, Nelson types don't; 
so I'm not sure how useful my info is to you. (What else does well 
here is Red Cored Chantenay and the usually unavailable Scarlet Keeper.)
