Who says you can't have fresh carrots in January? If you are in south Texas you can, even with some temps dropping into the low 30's. I planted a 5 foot single row in October. I covered it with plastic as it got cold, and added a second layer of plastic in a make shift green house. Still have about 45 onions slowly growing but will have to pull them by late February.
After cleaning and trimming the stems we had 12.3 oz.
If I was looking at having fresh carrots year round (or most of the year), I would figure having to plant 20 5 foot rows two weeks apart starting 10 March for 10 of the plantings. The other 10 planting starting in late August.
Alternatively, plant them all at once and pressure can the harvest.
