Default not-very-nice carrots

hello,
(another one of my interminable vegetable questions!!)

was wondering if anyone has any clues as to why my carrots aren't that nice.



Lack of organic matter in the soil?
Soil too old?

Only this year are our carrots starting to taste good and be of any size
beyond match sticks. We have been layering on our compost, purchased
"compost" and the bunny stuff. Can certainly see the change in the soil
from it.

We've had similar bitter carrots in the past.
