Carrot Claim to Fame
In the spring, I planted some carrots. They didn’t seem to be doing well — I pulled up one a few months ago, and it didn’t really have a root. I let them be, and today was admiring the tops — so I decided to pull one and see what it looked like. And I had the laugh of my life.
There are many famous carrots in this word. There’s classic carrots, there’s hybrid carrots, there’s colored carrots, there’s weird carrots that look more like white radishes. They come in every flavor, size, and shape. One that a fellow farmer goes on and on about is the Flakee. Well, since I seem to have developed my own variety, I’m going to name it, damnit.
Everyone, meet the … *drumroll* … STUBEE!
FEAR THE STUBEE
Yeah, it’s only about an inch long. But it’s the right size around, and it’s ripe, and it’s actually started to go to wood in the very center. Oops.
Guess I need to dig these up and replant them. According to my calendar, I’m supposed to plant now for fall harvest. But god only knows if that’s accurate in my area. Harumph.
