Harvesting your Carrot plants

• Carrots have orange roots which grow below the ground, it is this part of the vegetable which we eat. They can be long and slim or short and round
  
  
• Above the ground you will see the green feathery carrot tops
  
  
• We can pull these to get them out but sometimes they break off
  
  
• To get your round carrots out of the ground it is best to put a small fork or trowel into the ground near to them and lift them up
  
  
• Did you know that you can even eat the top green leafy part of the carrot although not many people do! ( It can be put in a salad)
