Mid-Winter Surprise

I bet you weren't expecting an update from your favorite blog. But I made a cool discovery a couple days ago. There were a few carrots from the garden that we still hadn't eaten that were in a plastic bag in the kitchen. At some point I threw the bag in the fridge and basically forgot about it. This was probably November or December... The other day, I took out the bag, and lo and behold, the carrots were growing new greens!





Someone else in the garden had told me if you leave carrots in the ground over the winter they grow into queen anne's lace. I guess that's what's happening. But without dirt! And in the fridge!

I find this exciting.
