How do you know when it’s time to pick your carrots? It’s not like you can see them!

Marianne Aleardi had the same question for Toni Farmer.

Luckily (of course), Toni had the perfect tips for finding the ideal time to pick. And they’re simple…

Just check for two things:
that the tops are mature
that you can see orange popping out from the dirt

And, voila, carrots!

Plus, remember that the size of your carrots can depend on the variety that you planted.

Happy gardening!
