Those fake baby carrots aren't bad but nothing like the real ones. I can
only grow things on my back balcony in somewhat shallow pots. I grow
carrots in the spring and due to the container size, I only get baby
carrots. They are good. It's an annual battle here though....I have to
pull them before the annoying squirrels dig them up.
