Spring Carrot Harvest

I dug up our over-wintered carrots today--a much better harvest than I expected. Some rotted into a gooey mush, but overall, not too bad. The tiny ones will be snacks for Harley.

We need to get our seeds started this weekend. Now that I've removed the concrete blocks from the truck bed, we can rig up our light and mat system in the living room near the woodstove. It's time to get those long germinating, heat-loving plants started. The mercury should hit 60 today, enough to melt the last of the glacier in the garden. The frost went pretty deep, so we still need the soil to warm up before we can plant early cool crops.
