plantlings

eagle-eyed and elephant-minded readers may have noticed i have made no mention of my enormous crops this year. this is because, erm, they're not quite finished yet. blame the poor soil or a confused climate, the cauli refused to flower and the carrots remained carrotlets.

to save them from certain destruction (and boy, was i glad for that when The Snow came!), i decided to move some of my potted vegetables indoors. fortunately, i had great help from my gardening assistant, who even assisted with a vehicle:



on a positive note, the number of carrots has increased dramatically since last year. this is because last year, i only grew one carrot. but we have nibbled at the small tasty carrots, and still there are more 'rots left in the earth, which means there will be no lean spring for us. hmm... perhaps i should do it like this every year?
