We usually grow a variety of different carrots in different colors, but our neighbor does all Danvers 126 Half-Long carrots. This year we bought an extra bag of seeds for Black Nebula carrots, and gave one to our neighbor. They are growing so much faster than the Danvers 126 half-long, so much so that he asked for the company we got the seeds from so he could get more seeds of these and other carrots. It's the same in our garden-these just grow so fast, and look so healthy. I also love how you can see the purple even when the carrots are still young. They also taste great, and make the coolest looking carrot cake (it comes out almost black, and the frosting is purple if you put the tiniest amount of carrot juice in it). But wear gloves when harvesting or thinning, or you have purple hands for a while even if you wash them well. But I highly recommend these if you want a non-orange carrot that's just a lot of fun to use, and grows well. It's hot here so they apparently tolerate the heat well too, but they grew well for us one year that had slightly cooler weather.
