patient thinnings...

If you are patient enough, you can wait to thin your carrots in the garden - such as these - 

they are tender, crisp, and sweet.....



(Native American heirloom variety)

cleaned up a bit and sauteed, or eaten raw, they make a delicious side dish to any meal

    Love these! I am a huge baby carrots fan and always look for them at the produce section. I especially love the deep purple ones. They are delicious when rosted with a bit of olive oil.

    I am new to your blog, but so love your photos, the carrots just look divine and i wish I had more room in my garden to grow them. I think raw would be delicious!

    Ooo, thanks for the idea Angie! My purple ones should be ready soon!
    Anne, you are so right, it takes a lot of patience to thin carrots, it's one of my least favorite tasks to do in the Potager.
    This styling you have done here is perfect!

    Anne Marie, I have to admit that after I read your post I had to have baby carrots for dinner. And they were delicious; probably not as delicious as I think homegrown ones but delicious nonetheless. :)
