Carrots can be hard to judge. The tops of the carrot will show at the soil line and you can gage when the diameter looks right for your variety. If the diameter looks good, chances are the length is fine too. But you will need to pull one to be certain. Carrots can be left in the ground once mature. A light frost is said to improve and sweeten the carrot's flavor.

I usually look for the tallest and fullest greens above ground...sometimes you can see the top of the carrot and get a hint at the size. Carrots thrive when planted near tomatoes.

Carrots are root veggies, meaning they grow in the ground. Grab it firmly and pull it out of the ground.
