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.

No, they won't get bigger. What will happen is that they'll start to put
out little rootlets and become tough, as they prepare to make seeds this
year. The good news is that, since carrots grow so well throughout the
winter where you live, you can plan to have year-round carrots, even if they
are small. Plant fewer seeds, but more regularly (every three weeks or so),
and you'll have a steady supply.
