One sunny afternoon recently we dug up the last of the carrots and beets. We had quite a good crop of carrots, as usual. I guess our soil conditions are right for them, as they seem to do well even though I'm terrible about thinning them. Oliver was fascinated --- at least for a minute --- with the dig-up. The beets did well this year, too, and we got a basketful of them even though I'd picked and eaten from the single row most of the summer. Just goes to show what a few seeds can bring you. I love the lessons like that in the garden. It's one of few places where I can truly see the fruits of my labors.
