If you have loose soil, you should be able to pull the carrots out of the ground. If you do snap some roots off, loosen the soil first with a pitchfork or shovel. Clip off the leaves, leaving 1 inch of stem. Brush off any loose soil and layer in moist sand or sawdust and store in a root cellar. If you don’t have a rootceller; store in plastic bags in the refrigerator.
