I did pull one this morning, to see if I have got to do thinning (never grown before) wasn't very big but lovely raw I hate them cooked. Yours all look great.

my carrots were sown march i used seed tape for the first time and they germinated really quickly and then visable growth stopped. I popped a closh over the row as the growth did not go above 1inch and now its jumped to 3inches so i dont know whats going on.

I have left the cloch on but will take it off in the next week.

Not 2 impressed so far
