Blanching Carrots

Has anyone blanched carrots successfully for the freezer or can I just slice them up and freeze without all the bother 

We have a lots of them fresh from the garden

You can freeze carrots without blanching first, but I think the texture will be better with a blanch step. I guess it depends on what you want to do with them later, when you thaw.
