問題詳情：

    Carrots are grown on farms and in small family gardens all over 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—coloured vegetable usually comes to mind. 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 the way carrots taste. Experts say warm days, cool nights, and the right soil temperature are the best conditions for growing great 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, yon can grow and harvest carrots the same way as you do during the summer months. If the ground does freeze ill 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-1ike 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 colour. Usually, the brighter the colour, the better the taste.
