Carrots

 Just when you thought the growing season was over, and perhaps the MCF had even gone into hibernation...carrots!  The miracle of carrots is that you can leave them in the ground until you're ready to eat them, assuming they aren't so close to the surface that slugs get them first.

So about these carrots.  Hmmm, they're sort of round.  Nice and fat and tasty, but not so long.  I remember reading about carrots, and learning that the soil had to be loosened deeply or the result would be stubby carrots.  Well, I leave it to you to determine how much bother I may have/have not put into preparing the root bed...
