Thanks for the picture. Think how great they will look with carrot tops spilling out of them. Unless, of course, they get picked too early which very easily could happen. When ever the picking occurs, be assured that the gardens were successful because of all the pleasure your sweet boys will gain from them, whether they actually get mature carrots or pull them when they are very tiny.

Love to you.

Actually, our soil has such a high clay content that carrots won’t grow in it. But carrots are one of the only veggies that can handle our super short growing season. So I got a bag of potting soil and put it in the tires to make three tiny gardens with fake dirt that our carrots can handle. Although I suppose that they might keep doggies out as well.

and I’m assuming the tires are an attempt at preventing doggie interference with said gardens??? 🙂
