how did my tiny carrots end up looking like orange toothpicks?

This year, my carrot harvest was... let’s just say, unique. I pulled them up and they looked like orange matchsticks next to the real thing. Turns out, carrots need loose, fluffy soil to grow big and strong. I skipped the deep digging and just tossed seeds in, thinking they’d figure it out. Nope! They grew skinny and short, but honestly, I’m still proud. Each one was crunchy and sweet, even if they wouldn’t win any beauty contests. Next time, I’ll make sure to break up the soil and maybe thin the seedlings a bit more. Even the tiniest harvest can make you smile when you’ve grown it yourself. Plus, they’re perfect for snacking or tossing in a salad! #gardeningtips #carrotharvest #growyourown #urbanfarming #Gardening
