Here is our first carrot crop of the year...They are small but because of the snow we got, I was afraid that they would get wasted. So I picked a row! The smaller the sweeter they are. These are VERY yummy! This was just the small row, we still have another 4 rows to pull up!
Firecrackers!
Too some they may sound yucky (Mary!!!) BUT these are really good!!!and it is not just because I am prego! :) They are sometimes served at Mexican restaurants. They are spicy and sweet.... crunchy..... and easy to make! Good healthy snack to keep in the fridge!
