Yesterday was the last of the carrots harvest day. They keep very well in the ground, but I am prepping the soil for the next planting, so out they came. I planted some various colored carrots in addition to the normal orange ones and, as you can see, they did quite well.
This one had to have been a foot long and at three inches across, a big fat healthy plant. I was pleasantly surprised as tasty it was. There is really nothing like the taste of a carrot when it just comes out of the ground. The orange ones were normal sized.
I expected the big ones to be woody, but they were perfect, hard and crisp with a wonderful sweet flavor.
I think just that one will be enough for at least six good sized salads. Here was the first with the carrots, avocado, onion, tomato, oliv oil, white balsamic vinegar and blue cheese. Not too tasty. I think I will have another tonight.... and tomorrow and tomorrow.
