I love to grow Paris Market Carrots. They are a small round carrot that is very sweet. I was wondering if anyone else grows them and how large your get? Any tips on getting them to grow bigger?

Don't know those, but in general for carrots (along of course with fertile soil and plenty of water) you want many inches of very loose, sandy soil. If they have to push through hard clay, they get stunted.

I grew them last year. They are cute and good for container growing.
Also goo where you're not up to deep-prepping the ground.

I left a few in the ground until fall and they got to be about turnip/baseball size. Harvested most of them between baby size and golf ball size though.
