COLOURFUL CARROTS – MAY IN THE GARDEN

Autumn has finally hit and the orange and gold leaves are stunning. I took some rather late sage cuttings, I assume spring would have been a better time, but perhaps a warm window sill will be enough to encourage them to anchor into the soil. Pulling beautiful purple and yellow carrots from the ground was such a thrill, although I must admit my carrots had quite the cushy life and had more top than root and had to be supplemented by some absolute giants from the Sunday Market. I’ll have to be much meaner to them next time so they fatten up!
