My poor carrots. On the very first day they were planted, they were dug up. And I am pretty sure they were dug up a couple other times throughout the summer. The pot that they called home was flooded AT LEAST once a week since May. I really never thought any of them would make it.
But they did. And did very well too, especially considering the harsh conditions they had to survive.
I have been wanting to just pull them all up and be done with them for quite a few weeks, but my wise husband would talk me out of it, telling me to just give them a little more time to mature.
So glad that we waited. But two nights ago, the boys had a blast digging them all up. I didn't really care for peeling the baby carrots. I don't know how baby carrot farmers do it--oh yeah, by machine and not by hand!
Now they continue to dig in the empty pot and inform me that it is their "project."
They are happily playing in the dirt--although we changed outfits 3 times yesterday because I didn't really want their project all over my house. But I say dig away, my little boys. Go work on your project.
