Size does matter – as does the intensity of the orange hue

7 October 2008

So you remember my first carrot, right? Well, I’ve dug up a few more since then. Five, to be precise, giving me a second harvest of 247g. Four carrots came from the left hand end of the row; the end that didn’t look so promising. They weren’t particularly long, but they were nice and thick and were a glorious bright shade of orange.

I puttered further along the row and found one that had pushed itself a good inch out of the ground. Ok, I thought, if you’re that keen, out you come. I carefully dug it out, trying not to disturb its neighbours and pulled out a fabulous nearly 8″ whopper. Yay! Clearly, the measure of a good harvest is one that I can’t balance on my face.
