Carrots... Harvest Time

This year we grew carrots on the side of our house. We have grown beans, watermelons, and pumpkins in the past. This year we tried something new... We planted them in the late spring and due to a surprise pregnancy and months of sickness we did nothing to them until this week. I think they would have benefitted from some spacing (most of the carrots were all funky shaped b.c they were too close together) but in the end we had carrots and that made the 39 cents for seeds well worth it!

I couldn't get a good picture of our little gardeners... oh well!

We ate some carrots for dinner that night and they would have been great, except I forgot to peel them before I cooked them! I was so focused on scrubbing all the dirt off that I forgot to peel them. Oh well, it was still a fun memory.
