We are growing one this year and was wondering what to feed it to keep it going? Ours is still shooting out new growth...:)

I would think something like a tomato feed that has a high P and K in it to promote root growth and weight. This is what I have been feeding my 75.2 Swede's they are getting huge.

Yeah, definitely, put the phosphorus and potassium right to them.. Micronutrients wouldn't hurt, either. All root veggies need extra P and K, as well as a lot of water in well drained.

I looked up what to feed root crops this year for my own garden. :-)

What is your definitionn of a "giant" carrot? I grow ordinary carrots that get mighty huge by my standards! The tops are about 4" in diamter.
