Whoops I forgot the carrots!

[jojo54]

My mom and dad came to visit earlier this year and my dad although 80 thinks he is 25. He loved working in the yard - chipping food for the chickens and tilling. Oh man he loves tilling. Anyway, when he was here and tilled between my rows he actually tilled up most of my carrots. I really didn't mind because he was having so much fun so I ignored it and replanted some after they left. Some of the carrots did come up where he tilled and missed so I was eating those and forgot about the ones I replanted. Well I went out today and decided to dig some up and they are huge.

Another reason for you not to have yelled at the old lad.

You are a good daughter, thinking about his fun.

Love carrots. Usually ther isn't any time they HAVE to be harvested. I seldom pull more than what I need that day.

I wouldn't mind hearing more about what food you chip up for your chickens. What food do you chip and what machine do you use to chip it with? I would like to start producing some of my own chicken feed....

Nice carrots, by the way!
