Step 2: Wait until the daily temperatures are nearly 90* each day, and the soil is getting nice and warm. At this point the carrots will start splitting and getting woody, so it's time to get them all out.
Step 3: Extract all carrots from the ground giving a firm tug to the green stems, being careful not to snap the stem off, leaving the carrot buried in the dirt. Toss the carrots into a pile on the ground.
Step 4: Take each carrot and snap off the top stem right at the top of the carrot. Toss the carrot into a bucket.
Step 5: Rinse and swish the carrots in a water bath to loosen the dirt. Drain the water.
Step 6: Transfer carrots into a colander for further rinsing.
Step 7: Rinse carrots and drain.
Step 8: Trim tops and root end from carrots and store in plastic bags.
Step 9: Eat carrots twice per day for the next 10 days so your home grown carrots don't go bad.
