Carrots are an All Season vegetable. It is carrot planting time from March until July. The 
young carrot is now a regular member of the menu all over the country, an all season vegetable, 
and is never so good, so tender, so well-flavored as when freshly pulled. Baby carrots take 
up little space and plantings at intervals will keep a supply all season.
