I just harvested some carrots which I had earlier transplanted. They
seemed to do very well. But what's weird is that these carrots had
"hair" all down the length of them.

Is that normal for a transplant? I don't do it that often. Never
noticed this before. IAre these carrot putting out tiny rootlets as
they adjust to new home? That's all I can think of.

Your input valued.

Hairy carrrots are usually a sign of too much fertilizer..don't know
that transplanting would have anything to do with it.
