carrots, ready when?

Another newbie here, first time growing our own too.

How do you know when carrots are a decent size?

Just rub your finger around the top of the root to expose it a little, and then you will see if it's big enough or not.

We had a sneak yesterday, well my friend did, and the top looked ok, but I didn't want her to dig down incase I was disappointed to find it might only be 3 inches long

If it's not big enough, can it go back in the ground, or will it die?

Once it's up that's it, I think - the roots anchoring it are destroyed. Just eat it small

ok, thanks Yorkie

Yes, there's no going back!

A lot of members would be highly delighted with 3" carrots.
