Carrots are fairly easy to grow as long as you have plenty of loose dirt - about 6 + inches deep - and lots of sunshine.
My daughter always wanted me to plant the “baby carrots” until I told her they were actually regular carrots basically shaved down to that size.
I figured depth was my problem in the past with carrots.
9 year old “slave labor” will come in handy!!!! If she wants carrots, she can dig up the spot for them!!!
