I've attempted carrots several times. The Miracle Grow garden won hands down.

This was my haul from the raised bed garden at my rural rental house. The beds were started 5 years ago and not maintained by the tenants. In spring I weeded and added about 25 1cu ft bags of miracle grow potting mix in the yellow bag and scattered in a few shovels of native soil. These were pulled in fall. Very tasty!
Those are the carrots growing in the lower bed next to the asparagus. I also grewa little bit each of squash, lettuce, and beets and onions with the carrots in that 4X4 bed.

In the city garden I share with my growing partner (he tills the clay soil in his raised beds every year) we've had abundant small skinny carrots. Tasty. May try again next year rotating out from pepper bed.

I once tried growing carrots in my sandy raised bed. Did not fertilize. Puny results. May try again next summer with fertilizer.
