I have a nice crop of carrots this year that I would like to try to
harvest through the winter. Do I need to cut the tops off of them
before I cover them with straw, or should I just let the tops lie on
the ground?

Just curious,

I left them as they were, much easier to find to harvest them. So very
good when left for that extra sweetness. :-)
