Richard,

Mel says not to add manure within six months of planting time.  It sounds
like yours has had time to decompose.  He also says to add a little extra
potassium to the soil when planting.  I hope this helps.

BTW, my carrots ("Nantes Coreless") look great this year.  I can't attest
to the flavor.  I don't eat them.  :-)  Last year I planted "Danvers Half
Long" and they looked like yours.  So, in conclusion, it may be some
types of carrots do better than others??

Regards,
Patty in Columbus, Ohio drowning in all the rain!!!
