Carrots (Ninjin)

Today I pulled a Carrot just to check its size. It weighed 170g (6oz) and 13cm (5in) long. 

After I cleaned it up.

Decided to harvest a Carrot to see how big it was.

A little early. 

 

Beets, Carrots (Ninjin) and Swiss Chard

Carrots are growing quickly and I'll be able to start harvesting them soon. One benefit of Carrots is they can stay in the ground for quite some time until they are needed. 

The Swiss Chard is growing well. I will start harvesting the larger leaves to allow more to grow. Swiss Chard has a long growing season so one plant can produce a quite lot.

The Beets are not growing as fast as I hoped, but like Carrots, they can remain in the soil for quite a while until I need them. I also planted a new planter with about 20 seeds for more Beets.
