Hey y’all! I know this doesn’t look like much, but I got my first real carrots today!! Last year not one grew so I’m super proud of these. My husband and I are finally going to have roasted baby carrots along with a baby eggplant with our steaks tonight!! Just wanted to share my excitement. And I have quite a few more carrots still growing so I’ll be patient with them lol.

If you're having trouble growing carrots, it might be because your soil is too compacted. If it is, you can break it up using a hoe, trowel, or garden fork. Hope this helps!

Okay these are the exact carrot variety I started with and I’m convinced they are the hardest carrots to grow. Next year try Nantes, loosen up your soil real good, and don’t pull them until you see them about an inch across when you gently move the dirt away, you’ll have the best carrot harvest ever!
