yesterday we harvested our little bed of carrots so that we could have the space for planting more sweet potatoes. the carrot variety that we planted this year was danver carrots, a variety that i’ve grown before but i never had as much luck with them as we did this year. although we didn’t get a lot, some of them were pretty big! and considering that we never fertilized them or thinned them, that’s pretty great news!

freshly picked garden carrots!

the largest carrot was about 8 inches long… pretty exciting! these carrots are sweet and fun to munch on, and i’m glad we harvested them now instead of waiting.
