Allotments 4 All

Without pulling or disturbing the carrots is there a way to tell when they are ready? Looking for a small to medium carrot worth using. Early Nantes planted 10/4

i planted some in pots in march and pulled the first ones yesterday. roasted them and they were lovely.
next yar they will be planted in my new allotment

Just pull one and see.

(At the rate my outdoor carrots are growing, the answer for me is Christmas!)

I have to plant mine again, as the blasted pidgeons have eaten them all!  Mine will be ready by Christmas as well if I am lucky. >:(

I've been thinning mine, and pulled out some lovely finger carrots, taste great in the steamer.  ;D ;D ;D :P

Carefully brush the soil from around the top,you can tell how big they are by the circle of orange that you can see...the top of the carrot.
