Beautiful colors @avery.bowron , I like how much red you’ve been able to keep in the grex. I’ve learned red is the most recessive color. Difficult to develop, but easy to keep when you have it (red x red always gives red I assume). How do you feel about the green necks? The trait is hard to get rid of. My understanding is it doesn’t affect flavor, but all modern varieties have aggressively selected against it. Do you breed for [Resistance against carrot fly](https://goingtoseed.discourse.group/t/resistance-against-carrot-fly/4327) ? I’d love to get your input on my [Large carrots for cooking](https://goingtoseed.discourse.group/t/large-carrots-for-cooking/4290) as I also document my progress. --- _[View the full topic](https://goingtoseed.discourse.group/t/averys-colorful-carrot-grex-collaboration-thread/4542)._
