The Christmas Carrot

I dug up the last of my carrots today. The bounty always lasts until December and it's so nice to eat fresh, tasty, beautiful carrots through fall and into the winter. In previous years I made the mistake of leaving the carrots out in the monsoon rains - the dirt gets soggy and they split creating all kinds of problems. This year I covered them and they were perfect.


Look at this GIANT one! Hooray! And beautiful. I wonder if I'd let it continue to grow how big would it get? Next year I'll try that just for a fun experiment, but I'm going to need a new raised bed as the old one's floor fell out of it.

So much healthier than cookies, but not nearly as tempting....
