Isn't that just the most beautiful thing!

My carrots typically start peeling underground, but several are nice fat snubs; you must have some very soft ground to produce such wonders.

Thank you for sharing. When is dinner?

How did you plant these? Do you do anything special to your soil as far as keeping it loose to allow them to grow?

Ditto - give us details! Many have a hard time with carrots, so what is the secret?

(Just as important - can I help you market it? )

i think probably that is big enough we all could have a share .. i also planted some danver seeds, but i pulled one up to check on it there wasnt even any orange to it .. lots of green tops, but i may have crowded them out .. lesson learned ..
thanks for sharing!

this is the first year i ever did carrots. when i planted them i tried to make them in a nice straight line and they ended up coming up every were. also i never thinned them out either i just kept them watered and i never did anything to the soil i just tilled it and made some rows. but when they started to grow i took the tip of my finger and went around the top of the carrot moving a little bit of the dirt. so i could see the head of it and that was it. other then that i have no idea what else i did.

but next year i am going to watch carefully! and make some notes.
