This was total folly. Some one sent me a free packet of carrot seeds!!!
As you know, I can't plant in the ground here, everything is in planters..... so, just for fun I dumped the seeds into a big purple planter that I had!!!
And they grew and grew and grew!!!! I had fresh carrots all spring and summer.
Finally I said, enough is enough, and today I dug up the rest....... cleaned them..... blanched them..... and now, after they cool, I'll freeze them!
All winter long I'll add them to soups, crock pot stews, and anything else I can think of!!!
And experiment that was just for fun, turned out FANTASTIC! Next year I'm doing it again!!!!
What a lovely experiment and result. I have a heck of a time growing carrots, I'll try a container next year and maybe we'll enjoy a happy surprise as well. Oma Linda
ReplyDeleteWhoa, that's a TON of carrots! Fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Great idea. I never though of growing mine from a container, or even blanching them for future meals. Thanks for the idea hon.
