I'm glad I read this thread before we decide what all to plant in the spring! I do know that we tried carrots in the past and now that you mention it, they never got too nice at all. I learned my lesson about zucchini when we used to have a garden, too... a little bit of planting goes a LONG way! Hehe I don't mind extra tomatoes because there's so much to make with them, but that year we got so sick of zucchini!
