I plant mine between rows of leeks .
Last year they where massacred by root flies but this year damage was minimal.
Only 1 was nibbled by a rodent

I wish ours would grow this well! Radishes did great but carrots struggled this year.

Have they gotten that woody feel to them? Still pretty good in soups at least.

I buy a kimchi that’s full of thinly diced carrots, radishes and onions. It’s delightful and is made from the harder veggies.

I leave them until after a few frosts. They sweeten up and taste so good. I’d say, don’t pull them all too early.

Good candidates for canning, makes everything soft.

Once harvested, carrots should be cooled down quickly and stored in plastic bags with some ventilation at just over 0 C. I work on an organic veggie farm and we stored 140,000 lbs of carrots from last fall into August. Most varieties need to be cooled for at least 2-3 weeks to sweeten up.

I just started carrots a little while ago, how long should I wait? (It has been too hot for anything to grow properly for me, so I waited until fall to plant these)
