Very yay, baby!

We're going to go buy the material tonight to plant carrots in a couple of weeks. My son is so ecstatic he can hardly stand himself. We're just waiting for our seeds to come in at this point. We've got purple, red, yellow, white and orange. We're excited about growing them for the first time and look forward to learning from it.

We've decided to go with the trench and cover with sand and peat method we read about since carrots will never be able to break through the clay here. We're also looking forward to growing our pear (yellow), grape (red) and green tomatoes next year. Maybe we'll have better luck from them than we have our Better Boy this year. It just doesn't look like its going to produce. But we still have several weeks left before we'll discount it completely.

You have some successes and some failures. A man I work with says "You don't make mistakes, you have learning experiences." He is right, of course.
