Carrots are ready to harvest when their shoulders peek above the soil and reach the desired size.
First, loosen the soil around the roots with a garden fork to avoid breaking them.
Gently pull the carrots from the base of the greens for a clean harvest.
Shake off excess soil but avoid washing until you’re ready to store them.
Trim the leafy tops to prevent moisture loss during storage.
Store carrots in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator for freshness.
Harvest in stages for a continuous supply of tender roots.
With these simple steps, you’ll enjoy crisp, flavorful carrots every time.
