I harvested bunches of carrots this afternoon. The carrots were the last remaining vegetables in our above ground beds for this season. I have noticed that carrots can be planted pretty close together without any noticeable side-effects in my above ground beds. Planting in squares, rather than in traditional rows helps increase yields per square foot and conserves space when space is limited.
I think the natural carrot flavor is quite a bit better when they are harvested in cooler weather, but it's been a dry growing season here in 2010-2011 and the carrots were slow to mature this year.

Things are really heating up here in West Central Florida, so we'll prepare for solarizing the soil this weekend.
