The dtm was really far off!

My understanding is that carrots can vary wildly in DTM according to conditions, that DTM estimates are useless, and that they're just ready when they're ready. I'm just going to see how it goes, and if I don't get anything in time, I don't get anything. If they don't bulb at all, maybe they'll survive the summer under the shade of my tomatoes and put on more growth in the fall. I've heard of other people doing that with their carrots.
