I have come to grips with the fact that the satisfaction I feel watching carrots grow heavily outweighs any satisfaction I feel after a productive day at the office. Ten minutes a day with three small rows of dragon carrots is enough to clear my head and make me smile inside. Though I admit that they are part of a larger picture which is growing up healthily around them, and all of it contributes to my "have a good day" in the morning and my "welcome home" at night.
So here's to my first time growing carrots...I can't wait to eat you!
We are a young couple in Central Arkansas hoping to make a life for ourselves in the country. Our goal is to be sustainable and organic and to work within our means. Livestock, gardens, fruit trees and bees are all part of the plan, in addition to creating a homestead that is creative, beautiful and educational for all.
Well on their way already. Good to see.
ReplyDeleteI can't help digging down around the tops to see the carrot - I probably shouldn't, but I like peeking at the bright purple progress!
