postheadericon Stump carrots

Pulled one of the carrots today to see how they are getting on, we have plenty growing so I'm not to fussed about sneak previews of them. It does help to pull at least one at this time of year so you can judge watering from now on, but so far they are looking pretty good and should grow at least another inch around before the first show in a few weeks time.

To put carrots back to seed for next year you can re-select your best carrots. Cut the top foliage off to about 3 inches and cut about two inches off the bottom (In half for long carrots) and plant in a large tub. I normally plant 6 carrots in one large tub and thin the seed head down to one main stem.
