and I decided to see how the carrots we planted in April were doing. Not too bad as it turns out! These are a Chantenay-type called "Moonraker". I grow them in a pot because my garden soil is NOT good at producing decent carrots. These days I plant in a pot and let them get on with it all summer. Pictures show newly sprouted, mid-season, and harvest. The crop will provide many servings between now and winter. We pull them as needed.


Half a dozen freshly pulled carrots with tops attached sitting on a grey plastic tray. Ruler for scale. Carrots range in length from 3 to 6 inches.
A light brown teddy bear in green overalls sits looking directly at the camera. He is holding a beet in his right paw. There is a bunch of beets embroidered on the bib of his overalls. He is sitting on the rim of a pot of newly sprouted carrots. Pot is about 14 inches in diameter.
Brown plastic pot filled with vigorously growing carrots. Pot is about 14 inches in diameter.

@richrollgardener They look terrific! Will have to look for that type. How deep was the pot?

@richrollgardener That is awesome! I have a little bunny here who is very interested in this 😂. The voles sometimes nibble her crop in the garden. 😂 (She is dressed as a carrot here!)
