What's Up Doc! - Carrot Harvest 2014

With all the things going on this summer, the garden was pretty low on the priority list. However, we did get carrots planted in the new grow boxes Kevin put in last year.

Kimberly and Alicia were here this weekend and helped with the harvest. They were pretty excited by our one "Goliath" carrot.

As I watched them digging and cleaning the carrots, I was reminded of a time 30+ years ago when their dad helped with our very first carrot harvest. The memory definitely brought smiles.

We must have harvested much earlier in the summer that year because its definitely not swimsuit weather right now!

I loved the pictures and the memories. I can't believe they're all growing or are all grown up.
