The weather is beginning to turn warm here. I figured it’s time to give the soil a brief rest before it begins its warm weather crops in about a month. In order to give the soil a rest, I had to harvest my carrots this weekend.

I ended up pulling out about 70 carrots yesterday. We washed them and will plan on eating them for the next few weeks. I’m really excited about these carrots- the only crops to have really successfully grown in my garden this Winter. Sure there were some radishes, and the lettuce is ready as well, but nothing was as abundant as the carrots.

The carrots are mildly sweet, very crunchy and obviously extremely fresh.
