I hear that this carrot was most tasty. Fortunately, we are in the south and can begin to plant anew almost immediately. The cooler (oh that is most amusing) weather should make for a better environment for the foodstuff; the insects should be pass the eating the armbrust-kohler foodstuff stage as well.
This year our garden started out beautiful - we had kale, broccoli, carrots, strawberries, blueberries, corn, beans and squash growing. We slacked off on the work and unfortunately, much of it did not survive until the eating stage (well not for humans to eat - bugs and the earth seemed to do alright). We just picked the only carrot to make it (had worked so hard to keep the hares out).

I am in the same boat! Most of our food either died or went to seed before we could get to them. We do have some carrots, somewhere in the 5-6ft talls weeds. It was a miracle anything made it.
I was told by a friend that the ol' timers say the bugs were extremely bad this year.
What year to try planting in a new garden, that's full of mutant weeds that grow more than kudzu!
I'm glad your carrots made it - luck to you in locating them. I am about to start planting the fall crops....
