Another harvest for Q
Ages ago we planted some thumbelina carrots (Daucus carota sativus) and a variety of eggplants in small containers on the deck. I thought this would be lots of fun for my oldest, Q, to grow, pick, and eat.
At one point we had these wild mushrooms growing around the carrots
Yesterday Q decided it was time to harvest the little guys and has been enjoying their sweet flavor and cute look.

Donna (peeked at you blog), thanks for stopping by! These carrots could not be easier to grow! Like any carrot, plant them in loose soil and follow the package directions re: watering. They grow quite a head of leaves so they are fun that way, lots to watch and check up on. You might be able to plant them really early in you season and get a batch going before the summer heat or maybe you all could even grow them indoors.

By the way, we did not "turn in" our PhDs! I use mine every day and I am sure you do too. Yours would likely be more useful tho on a daily basis than mine but I do my best to share the wealth when ever I can.
Thanks for writing and let us know how your carrots grow!
