Carrots

The tiniest carrot ever

Everything we’ve grown and eaten from the garden has been nice so far, but I’ve doubted that in many cases they were better than what we could have bought from the shops. The strawberries (all 24 of them) were more strawberryish, and the smaller tomatoes have all been very intense. The broccoli was more green than anything we have seen in the shops, and the cultivated blackberries are fatter and jucier than anything you see growing wild.

This week, though, we pulled our first carrots, and they are, without doubt, the best carrots I have ever tasted. They are so sweet and juicy that I know if I’d eaten these as a child I’d never have hated them so much.

I can’t wait until we eat the rest of the run but, on the other hand, I want to eek them out so they last. Carrot dilemma.
