We planted our carrots differently this year. Instead of going down the middle of the row with the seeds, we sprinkled the seed across the top of the whole row, so about a foot wide. You geniuses might have figured this out years ago but it really increases your yield about 5 fold. We thinned the carrots while the plants were small to give the carrots plenty of room. Now truly, have you seen better looking carrots? They are sweet to boot! This pile is only about 1 foot of a row. We'll probably get over 200 pounds of carrots this year. Do you want to know the real secret to our garden?
WATER. It got watered 20 minutes a day by the automatic sprinklers. We hope we never have to hand water a garden ever again!

Three cheers for carrots and hooray that you guys hit gold this year with your harvest. I am so proud of you.
We want to have a giant pumpkin contest next year, a family-wide affair. Are you guys in?
Oh these look so yummy! Carrots are so great! I ordered some of those red carrots that I was telling you about so when they come in the post I will make sure to save you some!
Wow! Those are huge. You will have to teach me your secret for next year.
