roots!

I recently remember that I had some carrots left unharvested! Unfortunately I though of this when it was well below freezing and the ground was solid. Two weeks and 10 inches of snow later, I got 'em. They're a mix of varieties since in September I just through in a bunch of seeds in empty spaces (mokum, scarlet nantes, touchon). But they all seemed to handle the winter pretty well. I like leaving carrots in the ground until the new year, it makes for an exciting gardening treat at a time when there's otherwise only seed catalogues.
