Not too bad. Too many smaller ones means i planted too close together. I spaced them out more this time around and will add more water and manure.... should come out better.

Ive never had them before. Surprised to learn that if you peel the purple ones, they are still orange inside. But yellows are yellow.

not all that's red is orange inside. I've had some that are legitimately spicy. like a mild radish.

these look great though, great job!

Rainbow carrots some of my fave, though they inconsistent sizes. We always roast em in butter

Those are some dope looking roots. Hope they taste good

Your carrots look so nice! Mine usually look like eldritch monstrosities, I haven't really figured out why...

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

sounds like your soil might be too hard. add more sand to your soil and it should make it easier for the roots to propagate.

Oooh, thank you so much for the advice! I'll try that.
