First carrots plus beets!
Today we harvested the first carrots of the year (baby Nelsons), along with baby Chioggia beets, for a small custom order. Veggies seen outdoors, especially when wet, are impossibly colorful in their own particular way, quite unlike…other colorful things! I’m still and forever surprised at how deeply pleasing and satisfying it can be to simply gaze at fresh veggies in sunlight (especially after harvesting them, and on overcast, diffuse light days!). Leafy greens are great, but the time for MORE is upon us once again!
