About Carrots
Carrots are best from seed. Roots are sweet and earthy. When harvesting, loosen the soil so you don’t snap the carrot. The leaves are also edible and make good pesto. After harvesting the root, cut the greens off right away. Carrot tops look pretty, but they keep growing and draw moisture and nourishment out of the roots.
