So I planted carrots sometime around mid- to late-May. About how long do these take to mature (sorry, do know the exact 'breed')? I've attach pictures below for reference as to what they look like. They look like they are ready to be harvested, but I really don't have a clue.

I threw together a garden VERY quickly after getting the yard in order (its our first year in our new house). It's small and needs a lot of work. I figured anything it produced would be a bonus this year. We've got some cherry tomatoes, corn, carrots and a slew of string beans. I'm now hooked on gardening and growing my own veggies. I'm just seeing this year out and then I'm going to build a bigger bed and make it raised with stone walls for next year (a fall project). Even my wife, who laughed a little at me when I started this, is hooked as she loved having fresh string beans with her dinner last night (our first veggie from our garden).

Anyway, back to the carrots - any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan
