baby carrots? these are real little ones …

I reckon I should always triple the length of time seed packets say: “Sweet and tender baby carrot, harvest at 10cm long. 55-60 days.” I got curious at 100 days & pulled out some of the bigger ones … 2cms!
Not that I’m blaming the seed company, it’s more likely my growing techniques that are at fault. And I guess that’s exactly the type of thing I’m trying to learn, so that one day I’ll be confident & experienced in growing my own vegetables.
I gave the tops to Lilika, the house rabbit, and then I ate the rest … yep, tasted like carrots, just a bit small ; )
