     Carrots are grown on farms and in small family gardens throughout the world.They are easy to grow
and easy to harvest.They have a pleasing taste.
     When people think about carrots,a picture of a long,thin,orange-colored vegetable usually comes into
their minds.But carrots come in many different sizes and shapes.And not all carrots are orange.
      Carrots should be grown in sandy soil that does not hold water for a long time.The soil also should
have no rocks.Weather,soil,and age affect (影响) the way carrots taste.Experts say warm days,cool
nights,and a right soil temperature are the best conditions (条件) for growing great tasting carrots.Most
people do not know that carrots can be grown during the winter months.If the winter is not cold enough
to freeze the ground,you can grow and harvest carrots the same way as you do during the summer months.
If the ground does freeze in your part of the world,just cover your carrot garden with some plant leaves or
straw.This will prevent the ground from freezing.
     Carrots need time to produce and develop their sugar.This gives them their taste.If they are harvested
too early,they will not have enough sugar.However,carrots become wood-like and lose their sweetness if
you wait too long to harvest them from the ground.The best way to decide if a carrot is ready to be
harvested is by its color.Usually,the brighter the color,the better the taste.(from VOA)
