January 30, 2013A.The article https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/carrot/saving-carrot-seeds.htm I assume you referenced, discusses the methods of growing carrot tops. While many vegetables can been grown indoors, most will not produce viable seed IF they bloom. Vegetables need a minimum of 4 hours full sun (outdoors) to grow properly.

August 1, 2013Q.About Small Carrots
I have to thin my carrots. Will fairly small ones mush up if I can them in pint jars? I was thinking I could cut down the time in the pressure cooker. It would seem to me that small ones cook easier, and hopefully would still seal and be cooked. Thanks for any help I receive!

August 1, 2013A.For canning information, one should consult a publication like "The Ball Blue Book", or contact their local agricultural extension office. As a non-acidic food, carrots should be canned to 'standard' guidelines, no matter their age.

Certified ExpertA.You can try the sand method of storing carrots. After harvesting, do not wash the carrots and trim the top to about 1 inch long. Allow them to air dry for 1-2 days in a cool, dry place. Gently brush off any dry soil but don't work so hard as to "clean" the carrots. They will still have some dirt. Then bury the carrots in moist (not overly wet) sand in a sealable container, like a large tupperware container. They can be stored anywhere that gets between 35F-40F for up to 6 months.
