I planted carrot seeds in the garden about a year ago and we were eating lots of carrots all through the summer and fall. In the winter I could still go outside and pick a carrot when I needed one. This is the last of the carrots, an amazing one-year-old specimen. It's just as juicy, crunchy, and tender (though not quite as sweet) as the first carrots. I marvel at its longevity and ability to survive icy frosts and limited sun as it was in a very shady part of the yard. But since this was my first experience with growing carrots and I'm unfamiliar with their growing habits maybe it's not so surprising that they can withstand cold, wet weather and sun-less days for three months and still become one of the essential ingredients in an early spring
