I got back from a run yesterday and went straight to the garden in my backyard, where I like to put the breaks on my sweat downpour before I head inside the house. All of the carrot tops were huge but I didn't see much of any actual 'carrot' sticking above the soil so I was thinking I needed to wait a few more weeks.
But the mystery of what lies beneath - I just couldn't shake it.
So I grabbed a handful of greens and pulled just one carrot up.
It was a Deep Red Beauty for my eyes to see. I couldn't believe it!
Then I thought I'd pull just one more, because surely this is the only one that's ready.
Wrong!! Another beefy beauty!
Then I couldn't help myself and pulled them all up! All of them! Even the ones that were not even close! I literally could not stop myself. I snapped a few photos with my iPhone.
It was like I was playing the slot machines just hoping to land a winner.
The result was a beautiful bunch of rainbow carrots, some big, some medium, some tiny, some with 2 legs, some twisty, some curvy, some slender, some beefy. ALL FABULOUS!!
Also I can't make this post without giving a nod to that kohlrabi there looking so funky fine. Gonna eat you soon buddies.
