Grow Scarlet Nantes Carrots from fresh Daucus carota seeds. Scarlet Nantes is a French heirloom, introduced in the 1850's for it's delicious, 7 inch, bright orange roots. This variety is fine-grained, sweet and nearly coreless. Nantes is well known and is often used as a baby carrot as well. They freeze well and are also great when used in soups and stews. Crops will be ready for harvesting in about 65 to 75 days after first sprouts appear. Carrots, believe it or not, weren't always orange. Some of the most popular picks and more common picks in earlier days came in an array of colors such as Red (Atomic Carrot), Purple (Cosmic Carrot), Yellow (Solar Carrot) & White (Lunar Carrot). But as time carried on, orange became the more popular pick.
