I think I pulled them too early. They were smaller than I had hoped but I worried if the frost got them I'd ruin my progress. Now I'm learning that I should have left them longer so the sugars concentrated in the root and I would have had a better tasting carrot. I'll try again in the spring!

Youndid netter than me!!! Good job!
Did you get any that forked?
Congratulations! It looks like you did a great job.
Carrots can withstand frost and are often sweeter with a frost.
Here’s helping you are able to saute the tops because those are so tasty when tender!
That’s quite a turn out!
Wow they look so happy!
Yep, leaving them a bit longer lets the roots sweeten and your next batch will be delicious
They are beautiful
Leave them to grow a few weeks longer next time — even if light frost is forecast. They won’t tolerate freezes but do fine under light frost.
That looks awesome. I never was able to get success out of growing carrots.
You did a great job!
fresh, from garden to table.
