The NSG Unofficial Carrot Discussion Thread
This thread is intended as a one-stop-shop for all things carrots: cultivation, husbandry, preparation and consumption.
That being said, I myself grew and harvested around 15 pounds of carrots this past growing season. I had some issues with pests early on (no, not rabbits), but after I ground and applied a bar of Ivory Soap and some garlic bulbs around the perimeter, they grew fairly well. The flavor was on-point, the texture had a good "snap" to it, and they didn't have the "metallic" taste that sometimes accompanies store-bought carrots.
So I ask you, NSG: do you grow carrots? What are some of your favorite ways to prepare them? How do you rank them amongst other vegetables? If you don't grow them, where do you get them?
