the fruits of my labor....

Before the first frost last month, Zoe and I rushed out in the rain and harvested our garden. Enticed by the claims of the Square Foot Gardener, this Spring I had emptied out my garden boxes and went all over town buying 5 kinds of compost to fill my boxes with "Mel's mix". It was a grueling task and I didn't get the amazing results I anticipated, but gardening was still fun, great, and my kids loved it. It was all worth it when Zoe excitedly plucked all the fresh veggies from our garden, including about a hundred carrots. I had to take their picture, my veggies were so pretty and I was so proud. Now I just have to figure out what to do with all these carrots. Any ideas??
