Summer Investments Winter Payoffs

On my gardening page, you will note that I planted carrots in July. It is now snowing outside my window on this cold December day, but the dirt inside my sad, old, broken greenhouse is not quite frozen yet. Today I trudged up the hill to find I can still pull out perfect crisp and juicy carrots!

There was only a little kale left and my broccoli is frozen, so next July I think I'll plant an extra heap of root veggies for winter. I'm throwing these into my magic soup that is bubbling on the stove today. I'll post the recipe and the story that goes along with it at a later date.
