antsinmypants's Plant List: Direct Sow

A note from antsinmypants
Feel free to ask about anything in my list you may be interested in. I'm always looking to trade. Just because something isn't in my want list doesn't necessarily mean I don't want it & just because something I have isn't marked for trade doesn't mean it isn't available for trade. I stay busy so don't always get around to updating.

MIX of Longue Rouge Sang (rare), Purple Dragon, and Orange

Tomatoes Galore Swap 2024 - CorabethGodsey - Cannot be separated, is a true mix. At least 25% of the mix are the rare Longue Rouge Sang.

Longue Rouge Sang - This French heirloom carrot has a multi-colored, sunset-like exterior, and is crisp, crunchy, and orange through and through. Its vigorous leaf growth and strong top attachment allow for easy harvest into the cold, wet fall season. - 65-90 days.

Purple Dragon - Beautiful regular-size purple carrot bred by John Navazio. Bright orange or yellow interior, sweet almost "wild" spicy flavor, can be used just like any regular carrot, good storage. Our favorite purple carrot, with better flavor and more consistent color than "Cosmic Purple." - 80 days.

6th Annual NFTSRSS - kywheeler - 2021

These carrots are fun! Coming out of the ground, they are a dull pinkish-red. When you cook them, they turn a deep scarlet-red, making them a vibrant addition to the dinner plate. Show the kids you know magic with these color-changing beauties! They are good producers too, with 8" long roots and a mild and sweet flavor.

75-85 Days.
