Our garden is loaded with carrots. We planted them 3 weeks before eveything froze over and deemed them dead. Then outta know where they ALL came back with a vengeance. We have been grilling carrots, boiling carrots, sauté carrots, juicing carrots, roasting carrots. My son even threw a carrot at a wild rabbit in our backyard today begging for it to start eating them.
I also pulled and discarded about 20lb's of lettuce from the garden today. It was a new lettuce that i bought from home depot before the freeze to try. It..like the carrots came back strong. But my wife doesnt like it.the stems have a white sap in them as also the veins of the leaves..making it bittery. Gonna have to scratch this one off the list.
I thought I got a jump start on everything. Got the snap beans and sweet corn planted first, about the first week in March. Then, April 4, I planted everything else. That was purple hull, cream peas, and watermelons. Must have gotten bad seed cause I ended up replanting all of those about the end of April. This is the beans and corn.
