the carrot thief

we didn't really have enough space out back to grow carrots in our garden {next year i'm contemplating growing them in the front garden} but i had a go at growing some in pots, i knew they would never get very big, but i just roasted them whole with other veg & they were very tasty, they'd happily been growing away in a pot on the deck until Barney realised what they were, you see he loves carrots, i often give him a stick or two when i'm peeling some for tea, so once he knew he had a ready supply he could help himself to they started to go missing! i had to move them

they've been living on the garden table for the last few weeks, but with today's wet & very windy weather they got knocked over, not quite sure how as it's a heavy tub, but maybe it had already been pushed slightly off the table by one of the little folk living here, but then lots of other things have been flying around the garden today {what's left of the poor runner beans has taken a huge battering} so i retrieved what was left of the carrots {some still so tiny they'd be great props for O's dolls house} i've also made a apple & plum crumble as we all need something warming today, first day back to school / pre-school, aside from the wind it's certainly been very quiet around here

  5. A carrot eating dog - who would have thought it! We grew carrots for the first time this year - very satisfying. Love your carrot picture.

  6. I love that photo of the little carrots - I bet they were delicious! Mine fooled me by having lots of foliage - but next to nothing underneath. Tricksters!
    happy new week to you
