I dug my carrots on Sunday, because it got up to 60° and finally was somewhat pleasant outside. I'd been wishing I'd dug them earlier, before the precip and cold temps had set in, but now I'm glad I waited. The conditions were perfect for digging... moist enough to make digging easy, yet the carrots aren't muddy. Yay!
I did get "a few"... with the moist spring we had, I think every single seed grew! And this is minus the ones we've already eaten:
They're just nice-sized, too... a few smaller ones, but nothing humongous... mostly 'just right'.
The wind was coming up and the temp was going down by the time I got out there, though, so I didn't even take the time to take the tops off (it was Sunday, after all), so for the time being they're in a box in the garage, tops and all. We'll see how long I can procrastinate.......

I love carrots. Lately, my favorite way is to dip them in some yummy hummus. But now is the season to chop them up and put them in some soup.
Yep... definitely soup time here!
Mmmmm. Candied carrots, and chicken noodle soup!
Ours too, picked and not yet stemmed. I believe home grown carrots are sweeter than anything! I used some in beef stew already, so delicious. I like roasted carrots, too.
Peanut butter and carrots. Yum
Peanut butter and carrots? Never heard that one before! I shall give it a try! :)
