I grew different varieties of carrots this summer, and though they all grew well and straight they all had one thing in common. They tasted yuck, description on the web was like soap.
The info I could find on the web was that carrots get sweeter at night when it's cooler. But we have had a long hot summer and nights have certainly not been cool. So I am wondering if this is why they weren't sweet. And in Subtropical areas are they better planted in the cooler months, Autumn through winter.
Any thoughts or tips?
