Paging Meester Bunny, Meester Bugs Bunny

You ready for this? This is the contents of one ten-inch pot. Huh? Huh? Any closer together, and I reckon these carrots would have facets.

Uncle B spent a lot of years in an upstairs flat smack in the middle of London. That’s where he developed the ability to grow whole fields of waving wheat in little teeny pots.

We’re going to fire up the chimenea, sit under the stars and get quietly snockered. It’s Friday. Have a good weekend, all!

I have 1.5l of high-quality vodka and an itching to have it all drunk by Sunday evening. It’s a mild 25 °C, if a bit muggy, and it’s beef chow mein for dinner. Yay! ¡Feliz fin de semana!

Lots of shooting stars, the occasional wandering satellite bustling across the sky, plenty of vodka, a fox barking in the field next door….

It’s getting like a bloody Thomas Hardy novel around here.

With a bit of Isaac Asimov thrown in.

Happy weekend, fellow minions!

Still no damned UFOs though.

Will you be making carrot juice to mix the vodka with?

Jeez, would you want to? :-p

Mmm…fresh carrots. Only thing better is a tomato still warm off the vine, with a bit of salt. I fondly remember my Dad wandering out to the garden, salt shaker in hand. Wish I had his green thumb…and a climate that would allow slacker-gardening. You miss one day’s watering here in the summer, and it’s shrivel-time. I’d kill to have Concord Grape vine at Casa Gromulin.

Wow. What a harvest! Because the way my (concrete) garden is set up, all I can do is grow things in pots–next year I think I’ll have a go at a pot of carrots. I can’t believe how many you got out of there!

While you guys are sleeping off your hangovers tomorrow, I’ll be working. All things considered, I’m sure y’all will be happier than me.

That’s a pretty extraordinary result, MarkT. And it took several months from planting to this point.

I also have to plant in pots because of jackrabbits. They eat anything green I have in my yard. I am going to try the carrots. Never thought they would do that good. Have to wait for September, too hot in the summer.

I don’t even have anywhere sunny enough to put a pot, sadly. But those carrots look mighty good to me!

No UFO’s?

Or nothing that you can clearly identify as a UFO?

Or no UFO’s that you are aware of?

Or is it …no UFO’s that you will admit to?

UFO’s are a complex subject matter!

Geez, Steve, if he could clearly identify it as a UFO, it wouldn’t be a UFO, it would be a CIUFO, and I *know* the Ciufos — they’re entirely too staid to go flinging themselves across the skies in England.

Ummm, what?

I hear Badger’s secret carrot farming technique involves gallons and gallons of vodka-infused night soil.

Those look good–far better than the ones in my grocery store.

Thank heaven for carrots. So, I’m building a new horse house and the horses are “helping.” I’m up on a ladder doing the post and beam thing when one of ’em nudges on my leg. Ladder falls, human is hanging from the beam…

“Honey, would you please bring some carrots out to distract the big guys?”

Before I go postal.

We American Badgers are carnivores, so I cannot reveal my own level of carrotphagia.

What beautiful carrots. Do you have a root cellar where you can store your vegetables?

Until this year, our little patch of the hill country has been plagued by the brown blight, or what the tourists call white tailed deer. With the new 6 foot tall wire fence in place, gardening shall commence in the fall, and we will be sure to plant close enough to the fence that all of the deer can see and appreciate just what they can no longer reach. On the off chance one of them summons the courage to come over the wire, we shall call that one “sausage”.

I’m growing red, white, yellow, and purple carrots, as well as orange ones.

Fear me!
