Happy Monday everyone!
Alright, so I finally got into the hoop houses again on Saturday. The sun was shining beautifully and it was quite warm outside…scary warm for February, actually. I checked everything out, watered the fruit trees and just enjoyed the sun on my back for a bit. I didn’t, however, take any pics. I know, I know, crazy right?! You’ll just have to take my word for it…everything looks great! The spinach is starting to size up, the kale is recovering from…well, whatever has been kicking its ass, the lettuce is starting to look like lettuce, the turnips actually sprouted enough to call for thinning and the carrots…well, they looked so good I just had to pull a few for a taste! I mean, really…how else would I know that they’re itty bitty and need a LOT more time?!
- Mixed Greens = 1 ounce
- Spinach = 1 ounce
- Carrots = 1 ounce
- Eggs = 15 (yep…again!)
cute little yummy carrots! Its so hard waiting. I am still waiting for most of my root veggies.
We’re still waiting on most of ours, too. It’s so hard, but I know it’ll be more than worth the wait 🙂
15 eggs! That’s great. How many birds do you have?
We have 7 laying hens right now but just got 9 new chicks. 15 eggs is great…and I won’t complain too much…but I do look forward to it warming up a bit so the ladies can REALLY start laying again!
Your carrots look great! 🙂

Thanks, Lynn! I hope the rest will size up nicely!
I like carrots at any size; love that red/purple one, is it Dragon?
Yes, they are Dragons! I absolutely LOVE Dragons 🙂
Nothing like sweet baby carrots. With the longer day lengths and the increasing sun strength – your covered bed should continue to thrive and grow.
Fingers crossed! No doubt 🙂
Like everyone else I want to say the carrots look great. Mine usually don’t get much past that stage either – as a result of either the kids or my impatience usually.
Yeah…that whole impatience thing…it’ll get you every time! 😉
It’s the quality not the quantity. Your baby carrots are darling.
Thanks, Norma! I couldn’t agree more!
MMMmmmm those are prefect sized carrots – who you kidding? THose are the best for eating! LOL.
Ha! Thanks, Barbie!
That’s sometimes as big as our carrots get, period. Root crops are our Achilles Heel 🙂
Achilles Heel, ha? Well, that’s no fun!
I got zero carrots going, and yours look great!
Zero carrots?! I hope you have plans of putting some in the ground! Not sure I could live without at least a few in the ground!
Some times that is as big as my carrots get so enjoy. They are really sweet at that stage.
Oh…they were SO sweet! I could live on baby carrots 🙂
