Carrots

So this year with our garden we thought we'd be bold and plant carrots. I've heard they are hard to grow so we thought we'd at least try and if nothing came of it then it was fine. So after a month of nothing coming up in that part of the garden I said "oh well" and planted other things there. Well, as June came and went I started noticing these little sprigs of things that I knew weren't weeds but they were in the wrong spot to be plants. It finally dawned on me that we had our long lost carrots coming in. So yesterday I was out picking green peppers and I thought I'd pull up a carrot to see how they were coming along. And HELLO, they were huge.

As you can see Alex was SOOOO happy to hold them for me so I could take a picture.
