Carrot Varieties
Find a carrot variety that's right for your garden. Blunt-tipped Nantes types are the easiest for most backyard gardeners to grow. Imperators are the long, straight, tapered types usually sold in stores. Cone-shaped Chantneys are short and stubby. You can also find mini varieties and radish-type carrots for growing in containers or rocky soils. While you're at it, consider growing some colored carrots, too, for their unusual flavors and hues.
