This was my first year to have any luck with carrots, and I didn’t plant very many. This year, I am thinking of planting them in a container to see if that works better for me.

Kind of funny why I started with carrots. A soccer mom used to bring full sized carrots to games as snacks. Daughter was used to eating baby carrots and wondered where those “big ones” came from, so I told her they grow in the garden.

She insisted I plant some the next year. I promised her I would, but I’d show her how to tell when they were ready to pull. After the carrots had top, I showed her how to run a finger around the top to see if they were ready. Imagine her surprise when the first one was about 10 inches long.

I have no luck growing then in the ground but for me they do great in large containers . I was given a huge Rubbermaid livestock tank whose bottom was damage and right now it is packed full of carrots that will be ready to harvest in a couple of weeks .
