Well, that was way too many seeds and I have had areas in the carrot beds where it looks like a row of grass coming up! It would seem that I would be grateful for so many carrots but I know that if left that way, the carrots will be small.
I have undertaken the great task of thinning the carrots to 1 plant every inch or so. The beauty of this thinning is that the little baby sprouts already taste like carrots! Yum.
As I am thinning the carrots, I fill a jar with them as I go. I also have other thinnings. Turnips, radishes, beets, and so forth. They are all full of vitamins and good things.
When I come in from the garden, I rinse them off real good and either eat them just like that, or I put them in the blender and add some fruit for a delicious smoothie.
This one is carrot and radish thinnings with plums and some pomegranate juice. It was very good.
Yum! I am so glad I am eating a carrot right now, because your post made my mouth water :)
ReplyDeleteYum, I love carrot tops and radishes, I just found out I love plumb juice also
ReplyDeletei haven't been to your blog lately, fun to see the pictures and hear about it. i'm sorry i planted the carrots so densely. But I'm glad you are enjoying the sprouts. :)
ReplyDeleteThe sprouts are way yummy Elaine, so I'm not sorry that there are so many of them. We ended up planting 5 rows of them, so we have tons! You could come get some....
