I've just had coffee with my farmer neighbour and she tells me she is
growing red carrotts this year, what on earth are red carrotts? I get
the idea they are globe shaped but that's about all.

All you ever wanted to know about carrot colours:

I grew some coloured carrots last year, a mix which Monty Don
mentioned, I think with Rainbow in the title.
Very disappointing, mostly pale orange shades, no red or purple.
Back to "proper" carrots next year.
