I've given up on carrots completely. I've tried them year
after year in different conditions: nope. No luck.
I've tried growing them in Pro Mix in a container, even.
Nope. Piddly little things, not worth having.
I think it's a myth that carrots ever grow well, although
maybe they grow well in sand. I haven't tried pure sand.
Goodness knows where all the ones in the stores come from...
