Okay, so we've been sooooooo patiently waiting for our garden produce to be ready to "harvest"...I know that it's only the beginning of August, but to a 6 and 4 year old, planting in May seems like a longggggggg time ago...
Who am I kidding, to a 34 year old it seems like a longggggggg time ago...I was ready to start pickin' something. We've already gotten our zucchini, but after 10 million of them (well, that might be an exaggeration...) I wanted something else...so, I decided we could pick ONE carrot...just to "test" and see how it was growing of course.
Just so you understand: because of my lack of patience the first time around, the carrots are kinda all over. I planted them in one spot and they didn't grow fast enough for my liking so I replanted some beans...I was upset about this because it was an entire pouch of carrot seeds that were "wasted"...but, low and behold, 2 weeks later, up come the carrots, in between the beans...therefore, we have these roaming carrots sticking up and I ended up planting "official" rows of carrots in a different location. (This time I was more patient and just let them be however, are about 3 weeks behind the roaming ones...)
All this to say...I couldn't wait another second, I HAD to see how big these carrots got...so I let the girls pick the biggest one and we all took a bite! YUMMY...and I don't even like veggies that much! Everyone got in on the action...even my little 4 tooth wonder. I don't think that I necessarily have a green thumb...but, it could have a shade of sage or hunter in there right?
