Tips for Care:

Carrots need loose, well aerated soil free of rocks and other debris that will stunt their growth. Provide about 1” of water a week.

Harvesting:

The best reference to determine when carrots are ready is checking the “days to harvest” guide on the seed packet. If that is unavailable, feel in the soil to test the diameter of the carrot tops. If you are still unsure, dig a carrot up and taste it. It should be crisp with a sweet taste.
