  when do I harvest the carrots in my garden?

  You can reach down into the soil with your fingers and feel the size of the root (carrot) as long as they are there, any size is etible. I usually plant mine in early April and harvest in the fall and store in the frig over the winter, still have some from last fall. Your greens should be big by now, have your soil ph checked maybe it is too acid or too alkaline, you can ammend it to be more neutral, also might need some organic supplementation with compost or aged chicken manure or cow manure. YOu can probably buy these dried and bagged. Definitely start your own compost pile if you haven’t got one yet, the most economical and convenient source of garden supplementation. I am thrilled that you are having a garden and hope Benjamin in helping you with it. Aunt Leslie

  Can you freeze (fresh/ but still packaged) salsa and then eat it?

  there are specific instructions on freezing specific fruits and veggies, salsa is a combo and probably wouldn't taste very good after being frozen and thawed, you could cook with it, add it to soup or stew.
