Kind of funny why I started with carrots. A soccer mom used to bring full sized carrots to games as snacks. Daughter was used to eating baby carrots and wondered where those “big ones” came from, so I told her they grow in the garden.
She insisted I plant some the next year. I promised her I would, but I’d show her how to tell when they were ready to pull. After the carrots had top, I showed her how to run a finger around the top to see if they were ready. Imagine her surprise when the first one was about 10 inches long.
That’s a smile for sure. We are taking our granddaughter to a local organic farm this summer just so that she can see the animals on the farm instead of the supermarket.
Hey, Arrowhead1952! I have been wondering myself about carrots being ready... what am I looking for when I run the fingers around the top? What is the sign of readiness? Is it circumference size? Or something else?
Thanks
