Oh well. I'll have more bugs than I'll know what to do with soon enough.
However, I did just happen to get a wild hair and pull some carrots. I pulled the white one and then got a bit over zealous and pulled the other, but aren't they cool!!!
Here's a very bad picture of the insides of them:
They boy jumped at the chance of eating the red carrot, but you see how he's done it:
He scooped out the orange inside since it was what he recognized as being a "carrot." I'll have to hand it to him. I was rather sceptical of eating the white one, myself, but it turns out that the white one was actually sweeter than the red one. There are a few more out there that are almost ready to pull, so I'm thrilled. They were small, only abut 3 oz total weight trimmed and cut all together, but they were good snacking before dinner, that they were.The morning comes early. Sweet gardening dreams.

These are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first year I am trying to grow carrots but I usually do not have luck with my root vegetables. The soil has a lot of clay in it. We will see what happens. Might be looking for some extra tips.
Pretty carrots! Love love love the red ones!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! It's good that the young man will eat something from the garden.
ReplyDeleteCool indeed, and so great to see the boy eating his veggies!!!
ReplyDeleteMine aren't ready yet, but I loved seeing what my red ones will look like inside!
ReplyDeleteI planted some colorful carrots this year too. Unfortunately it will be at least a month before I can pull mine.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how kids are more enthusiatic about eating veggies when they see it grow.
Ha! My red ones had a nice sort of kick at the end.
ReplyDeleteI'll do carrots again next year; we're still eating them.
Whoa... carrots already! Yum! They look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'll certainly do carrots again in the fall. I think they jsut need longer to grow than I thought last year. I need to pull them rather soon now since I have more stuff that needs to go in that spot, but if I plant them in the fall they can stay there all bleedin' winter if they have to in order to bulk up.
ReplyDeleteAlready, Toni? We're already almost half way done with the season down here. ;)
