Well, it had snowed already two times for a total of about 6 inches by the time I got around getting the carrots out of the ground. It didn't hurt them but instead gave them a drink. We had the twins for the weekend and decided to give them a little farming lesson. I let them each pick some of them but their attention span lasted for one carrot. Then they were off doing other things. I would pull another two or three dozen and they would show up again to pull another one. But the good thing is that they got to pull some. Besides they love carrots, especially Logan. He eats them one fistful at a time. They are watching how it is done.
Liam got a good one.
So did Logan.
We had a several dozen that were in the 8-9 inch range with one that was ten inches long, just the orange part. The average length was about 6 inches. So I call it a successful harvest from one pack of seeds. We got a full 5 gallon bucket of them before I peeled, sliced, cooked and froze them. Remember to add a bit of sugar to the water instead of salt when you cook them. They are soooo tasty then.
