carrots

i managed to get some carrots from one of my raised beds. i started seedlings in february and harvested 'chantenay', 'yellowstone' and 'purple haze' today. they all taste good (despite their convoluted appearance) and the 'purple haze' has purple and orange-red rings when sliced: i am impressed!

insect invasion

these are some of the insects i see in my garden.

keyhole gardening

i had never heard of a keyhole garden before stumbling upon the awesome site organicgarden.org.uk. a keyhole garden is a raised bed garden design developed by the send-a-cow organization to teach african children to grow food all year round for their families in a small space. it is a fantastic concept!
