orange gold..

I decided that patience didn't become me, so i just evicted these-

Hooray!! I achieved carrots! ;-D
that is my small gardening glove for scale..

and it's only taken since they popped out of the ground in the beginning of november for them to get to this! :-)
*sigh*
ahhh well.. at least they a) grew at all, and b) are an edible size (if just as snacks), and they did inspire me to create my carrot experiment - i'm growing the next batch in a nice deep trough of potting mix! Should give them a much better chance than in our solid clay... the first bunch have just surfaced in the last couple of days :-)
