Last week I decided it was time to pull up my carrots. I had planted the Danvers Half Longs back in April. Ok, "planted" may be too technical of a term - I dumped a packet of carrot seeds over a four by four foot area and swished the dirt around and watered. These are a shorter carrot variety that do very well in raised bed gardens. This year they did great, even though they were crowded and overrun by weeds due to gardener neglect. I gathered up a large bowl of carrots that have some very special destinations. GBaby gets some as baby food and cooked up as finger food and a bunch ended up in Chicken Pot Pie (I'll post that recipe tomorrow :-))
