I pulled up a couple little carrots 4 weeks ago and have to admit they were bland. I am inexperienced with carrots, not sure if the soil was nutrient-poor or what. Turns out they were just immature. Pulled these babies a few minutes ago, and Oh! The aroma! They are wonderful. Carrots tonight! Carrots go good with pizza, right? (Just say "sure".)
Not sure why the photos keep loading sideways. I can't see how to rotate them. They are upright in my photo gallery.
Anyhoo, all you carrot experts out there. This is my maiden carrot year. How long can I wait to harvest once the carrots are ripe? I would like to take just a few at a time and leave some for butterflies.
Mike, you are going to have carrots out the ears. They won't last long after maturing before they get bitter. You can freeze them.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
