Default Carrots survived the winter

Is this unusual?, my garden is full of carrots. I've been eating some of
them for the last few weeks but I'm wondering if I should just leave them
alone for a few months and hope they grow to a reasonable size. My
carrots have always been stunted, usually just an inch long, never more
than three inches, maybe giving them two seasons to grow is what they
need to reach a normal size. The carrot variety is Danvers. I'm in
Massachusetts so I assumed that Danvers which is a New England carrot
would do best but it's been a disappointment. However it's ability to
survive the winter seems to be a redeeming feature.
