The tops of my Carrots are green!!

[Duke Ellington]

This is my first time growing carrots and have noticed that the tops of mine have a kind of green halo at the top where the leaves are. Are they okay to eat? What should I have done to prevent this?

Yes the green is caused by the top of the carrot being exposed the sunlight.

i eat them, i think it happens because the tops are exposed to the sunlight. can't see how to prevent it though :-\

Thanks for the replies :) So long as there is nothing wrong with them I will eat them !

Keep them covered with soil
