I planted carrots in a little raised bed along with tomatoes, bee balm, basil, and marigolds. (Based this on Louise Riotte's works.) I did not particularly plant the carrots with a view to a harvest, but more to dig down in the soil and do it some good. (Why do builders do what they do to soil?)
ANYWAY... the carrots are just gorgeous from what I can see of them, and I certainly wouldn't mind harvesting some. So, of course, the question is this: how do you know when they're ready to be harvested? I didn't plant enough to be able to pull one up now and then to check.
And by the way, the companion planting seems to be working (plus I paid strict attention to gardening by the moon on this bed) as the tomatoes are over 2' high and at least as wide; I've counted at least a half dozen tomatoes, now bigger than golf balls. The bee balm is so big it almost scares me, the basil is thriving, and the marigolds are threatening to bloom!
