“Do not allow carrots to get larger than normal size (8”-10" long). Peak harvest period lasts for 3 weeks. Late summer planted carrots are very sweet if harvested after first couple of light fall frosts, but before heavy frost. In climates where temperatures don’t fall below 20°F, with protection, carrots can be left in ground for storage, and harvested as needed." ²

“For gourmet baby carrots, harvest when only 3” to 4" long." ³
