Whether you’re looking to enjoy tender baby carrots or wait for the full-sized roots, Yaya provides flexibility in harvest timing to suit your culinary needs.

Growing Success Tips:

  • Prepare loose, well-draining soil free of rocks to promote straight root growth
  • Keep soil consistently moist, especially during germination and early growth
  • Thin seedlings to 2-3 inches apart when they reach 2 inches tall
  • Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds

Carrot Yaya offers an unparalleled combination of flavor, texture, and ease of growth, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. Its versatility in the kitchen and garden ensures that you’ll get the most value out of every seed planted. Whether you’re growing for fresh eating, cooking, or storage, Yaya carrots are sure to exceed your expectations and become a staple in your vegetable garden.
