The last vegetable to be harvested in my garden is the carrot. While I have a small vegetable patch in the garden, I always reap more carrots that I am able to process and consume. However, this just means that friends and family can share in the carrot harvest.
The photo shows a portion of some of the carrots reaped this year. Most are blanched and prepared for freezing and lasts over the winter. Though carrots are usually orange in color they can come in other colors like white, yellow and purple. Carrots, apart from being highly nutritious, can be used in a variety of dishes. They can be sliced, diced, roasted, stir-fried, juiced, used for carrot cakes or eaten fresh.

Lovely to see your carrot crop…I have grown carrots before but not that many
Thank you, it was a great crop this year
It looks like you had a wonderful bounty of carrots! Enjoy them over the winter months.
I sure will and thank you for reading.
I love carrots! yours look quite lovely. You would have to eat many carrots at one time to end up modifying the natural hue of your skin.
Thanks. Yes I agree you would have to eat a lot to get yellow skin but it does happen.
it does, just have to way over consume. 🙂
I love carrots, especially those grown in my garden. I am just preparing to sow the seeds . Carrots grow well in our mild winters . Enjoy your harvest.
Thanks. I am enjoying the carrots and they taste a lot better than the store bought ones.
That is a wonderful harvest. I once had a bumper crop of carrots from my garden when I lived in Latvia,
That’s great, I guess the soil and temperature conditions were just right.
I also had carrots planted in the garden, it just gave me a very bad result
Too bad. Some years for some reason, certain things don’t grow very well
That’s right .. last year I had nothing tomatoes … but this year I had so much that I barely ate it all
It was a good year for tomatoes here too.
Nice crop. To me, carrots did not produce a good harvest this year.
I guess it has a lot to do with the weather at the time. This year my cucumbers hardly grew at all.
I agree. I also blame the weather.
I have heard of others talk about this happening.
Apparently it could happen they say.
Err …no! Of course, by definition too much of anything is bad for you, otherwise it would not be “too much”!
They used to say that eating carrots could help you see in the dark, but I gather that that was put about during WW2 as a way of encouraging people to eat more carrots because there were plenty around and not a lot of anything else!
Yes I heard about that and another explanation for that was that it was a made up story to mislead the enemy.
Surely, eating too many carrots can turn your skin yellow because of the beta-carotene contained in the carrot.
Yes it certainly can, even though it may not be harmful
