Harvested half of the rainbow carrots today. They weren't kidding.

These were among the first things I planted indoors in early May. They came out short and/or twisty because they grew in standard flowerbox-depth boxes. I think maybe next year they'll go in deeper containers.

Pepper-bunny LOVES the carrot tops, and then she gets the carrot ends and I get the rest (carrots are actually very high in sugar and this only a 'sometimes food' for bunnies). There are about this many left in the other side of the box. This half will be cultivated, bunny-pooper-zed, and planted up with some of the parsely currently sprouting up in a smaller container - probably in about a week they'll be big enough to actually plant out.

Well, they vary somewhat but I've only tried them raw so far. The whitish ones are pretty mild, the red ones have a very strong "carroty" flavor, and the purple ones are sweet.
