Carrot Report

On the whole had an average germination year. I had seeds under straw and maybe planted a little too deeply. Our long spring meant the soil didn't warm as quickly as it needed to. That said, we have plenty of carrots. Report will now commence.

japanese imperial-as long as advertised. Today I pulled a 16 inch carrot. Yesterday I tried to pull a carrot twice the size in diameter in the mother of all carrot pulling contests...and lost..bigtime. They have good but not overly sweet fresh eating properties. I made carrot spaghetti out of them last night. Neat.
