We also pulled up the carrots, which the kids love to do. All though we could've left them out there, with things starting to get a little busy we decided to get them up now before ran out of time.
We planted a different kind of carrot called Hercules this year, and even though we had less plants we got more of a yield compared to last year, due to the size of the carrots. We ordered them from Johnny seeds and will do the same next year, very impressed with the quality and taste.
How do you store your carrots to winter over? I have read about storing them in sand in the basement, but as of yet have not produced enough carrots from our garden here to test that out personally. I'd love to know what works for you.
ReplyDeleteWe store our carrots in a five gallon bucket with damp sawdust around the carrots. We got the idea from an artical in Mother Earth News.
ReplyDeleteJealous of your squash harvest this year. We got zilch. Last year, they were plentiful. Wanted to share my most favorite butternut squash recipe: http://www.womansday.com/recipefinder/moroccan-chicken-couscous-122032
