modify the lists any way you like, or plant a garden of your own design.

* Carrot seedlings transplanted from a Garden Starter Tray into our outdoor test garden grew into some wild and twisted shapes.

Children (and adults) had fun harvesting, naming and eating them. If you’re up for some garden surprises, sow some carrot

seeds in your Garden Starter Tray. To see pictures of our one-of-a-kind Crazy Carrots, please see page 16 of this Guide.
