More fall-planted carrots. This time there's Napoli (on the left) and Danvers Half Long (on the right.



This is the first time that I've had success with the Danvers. I have no idea why because I plant them the same way and in the same bed with the other varieties. I just had some seed left and used it to finish the row.

I like the Napoli but sometimes the ferns aren't real strong and break off when I'm trying to pull them out. Because of that I was going to delete them from the lineup. But then I read about a trick where you grab the ferns right at the top of the carrot, push the carrot down about an inch and then pull it right out. Easy peasy and it works like a charm. Go figure.
