Carrots Doing Great in March

In December, I planted Carnival and Purple Dragon carrots in these 1/2 whiskey barrels.  They hung tight over the cold winter, and are very happily growing now that the weather has warmed.  They love it!  The soil in the barrels is planter mix (I hadn't started mixing my own yet in December), but it's light and moist, and the 75 degree air is creating amazing growth.

Another beautiful view of Carnival and Purple Dragon carrots.

I added more seeds today to fill in the empty spots, so this 2nd whiskey barrel should be just a prolific.

 You must admit, carrots are some of the prettiest greens you'll ever see.

Here's the 1/2 whiskey barrel out front.  These guys were amazing... they germinated in December and stayed green yet dormant even at 12 degrees!  The soil and leaves froze every night, and thawed every day.  I've had so much fun watching them.  It will be fun to see how the carrots turn out.  Yes, filled in the blank spots today with more carrot seeds (Nantes and others).
