If I had worked the soil deeper, and if I had thinned the patches, I'd probably have more long lean carrots and fewer short and stubby ones, though.Ellen Rathbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684750034177425795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-520167015534822285.post-29927816792718199502010-09-21T12:26:48.802-07:002010-09-21T12:26:48.802-07:00I usually harvest the carrots much later - most ar...I usually harvest the carrots much later - most are still in the ground.

We are waiting longer so they have more of a chance to get bigger.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07131433517143156646noreply@blogger.com
