Never got to planting carrots this spring before it got too hot/dry.

If I plant them now I’m fairly certain they’ll survive the winter, but will they continue growing normally next year?

Looks like it can be done if you get the min and growing and mature before the freeze. I don’t grow carrots because they’re so inexpensive where I live. Wisconsin grows onions, carrots and potatoes in the entire middle of our state where the glaciers ground the soil into a lovely sandy loam. ;)

The TOPS won’t survive the winter, so carrots won’t ‘perk up’ again come spring, but storing them and digging them as needed through the winter months can be done.
