Carrots
The Carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) is a root vegetable, usually orange in color, though purple, red, white, and yellow varieties exist. The most commonly eaten part of a carrot is its taproot, but the greens are edible as well.

Carrots grow best in full sun but tolerate some shade. In order to avoid growing deformed carrots, it is best to plant them in loose soil free from rocks. They thrive in raised garden beds. High nitrogen levels in the soil should be avoided, as this will cause carrots to become “hairy” and misshapen. Most carrots take at least 2½ months to mature; thus seeds are sown from mid-February to July, depending on the area of the U.S. where planted.
