Spring has sprung!
Time to harvest carrots
…and make room for spring veggies. We planted our carrots in whiskey barrels this time. Success! We will give away a lot to friends and family. I think we should have picked these in February though. Many of them were quite large, but some were really small. Possibly caused by a large ant pile I did not notice in one of the barrels. Not sure what happened. Always learning…
Leave something for the bees and butterflies
So we got tired of eating broccoli and stopped picking it after a while. The result was a blessing. All through the month of February and part of March, our broccoli bloomed and was covered in bees and butterflies. I wish I could post a video so you could see all of the bees and butterflies, but here is a picture.
The sad part was having to pull it out in order to prepare for our spring garden. It was still covered in blooms when we pulled it. Next year, we will plant some where we can leave it in longer.
