How appropriate for Halloween month.
I checked out the carrots, to see if any of them were big enough to pull, and came back inside with a basket of gold....er, orange.
A sink full of orange from the first trip to the carrot beds.
Although there were quite a few that were 3-4" long, many of them were at least 6".
Trimmed, the first bunch weighed exactly two pounds. And that was after Annie had her snack!
Another 1-pound, 4-ounces to add to the total.
For today's harvest, I ended up with a gallon bag full of sweet little carrots, some tiny carrot snacks for Annie (she's still on her diet), as well as a pound of cucumbers and, last but not least, a bag of parsley and carrot tops for Cookie.
None of these carrots were large enough to pull, so I'm hoping they will overwinter in this bed.
As well as these, although it's just one short row.
Both sides of this bed are filled with carrots that are still too small. They'll also be left to overwinter, so keep your fingers crossed!
