Carrot of Another Another Color

Behold! The purple carrot! I forgot we planted these. I don't know why I get such a kick out of planting oddly colored vegetables but I do. Purple on the outside, orange on the inside. Dirtiest Kid in the World's review: "They taste like orange carrots, only beautiful." These are the Cosmic Purple Carrots. It has been above 90 degrees for what feels like an eternity for April. Our cold weather crops are getting scorched. We were hoping to extend the growing season for greens but we had to pull up tons of kale, spinach and carrots. Which is how I rediscovered these purple beauties. A shade house is being put up as I type because it looks like we might be facing another long, hot,DRY summer. On to the summer crops!
