Carrot question?
Hi again all, just a quick question about carrots & how long they usually take to grow. It must be about a month since mine were planted & the heads were starting to look alot bigger, I decided they should probably be thinned out but when I moved a few there was no sign of a carrot underneath there was alot of healthy roots & a slightly thicker (still quite small) root connected to the head. What stage should my carrots be at, at this point? Im beggining to think they're not going to work out.

Bigger carrots (at least in the variety I planted) have more greens attached to the central root, so by the time they're ready to harvest you've got a vase-full of greens. FYI, they're also biennials. That means they'll take two years to produce new seeds. Puckdropper -- If you're quiet, your teeth never touch your ankles.
