A fine bunch of nice fat carrots! Growing decent carrots has been a bane in my "farming" career. Always spindly with tiny roots. Not this time!
My name is Bluewing and I have done this! (finally)
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

They’ll love sand, you just gotta make sure to enrich it.
I came here to say sand! Mix it 50/50 with super hot compost and let her rip. I am curious why they've harvested carrots so early though, even in Maine we have 2 months of growing left for tubers. Hell I over wintered some carrots last year and they are sweeter than you would believe!
2 months left? I am in west maybe 600 miles or so, and our growing season ends much sooner than that. Last year especially. And we are sheltered by the lakes that moderate the extremes.
Carrots grow right up to a hard frost, them go dormant. I suppose the Maine Coast is technically zone 6a, so take that as you will. I won't harvest my carrots until Thanksgiving
