An Owl and Some Carrots

I had this vision of the day - we all do that; I thought I would spend my Sunday fiddling around with my herbs - I have flats ready to be planted etc. etc....but no. Will asked me would i check out the carrot row....he needed to plow and maybe there were some carrots from the fall and maybe we should check first. So, last night I said ' well sure! that will be my job tomorrow!' Stupid me. Yeah, there were carrots, alright. LOTS AND LOTS.I went out there and didn't see the manure fork, so I got the hay fork, which is kind of the same thing, only not as tough, and has ten prongs rather than four, and I kind of started pulling and digging and filled up the 'muck bucket', and saw that I had only gone maybe five feet down the row and I thought, ' uh-oh'. And I brought my first haul to the carport. Then I washed the carrots and laid them out to dry and realized I had many, many trips ahead of me. Then I started to get worried. I dug carrots while eyeing the strawberries and I knew there was NO WAY I would do all of this AND pick strawberries too. Will was very busy doing a lot of other important farm things. What now?
So I took carrot pictures and went inside and sent an emergency alert to our email list. Thank goodness for our clientele!

By the time I was washing and sorting another batch of carrots, the vehicles started coming up the drive. We had plenty of folks to pick berries and everybody bought carrots too!!!yea!

It was a good day. There are still bundles of carrots in the fridge outside, but the strawberries are picked AND sold. yes.
