Carrots

I picked what I thought was one carrot last night and ended up with a pair - a very friendly pair!

A Friendly pair of carrots!

We were thrilled with the length of the beauties - normally our carrots end up short and squat and a bit gnarly because we over water and the soil is too solid - but we have the mix right on this one!
When I chopped the stalks off I got that great smell of brightness and true carroty scent; you just don't get that when you buy them from the shops!
They tasted delightful and added a real sweetness to my simple stirfry of XO garden veg and tofu (with a good slug of Shaoxing wine!) This pair of lovers met a happy end!
