Carrot Harvest

It was time to pull the carrots today.  I’ll say that we ended up with plenty of them.  The variety we chose was the short, stubby kind.

It has been good for us to experiment with growing different vegetables in order to determine what our favorites are.  I think I’ve decided that root vegetables are too much of a pain to mess with.  The beets had to be cooked and peeled all while trying not to dye everything in sight pink.  The carrots took a lot of scrubbing and were difficult to peel without losing a lot of the carrot.  I will try sweet potatoes one day, but I’m saying good bye to the rest of these underground babies.  At least for now while real estate is limited.

Ugh! And tomorrow I still need to make something with these.  I’m leaning towards carrot soup.
