What to do with all the carrots we have harvested?

It was all hands on deck when our daughter walked in with a big armful of carrots.  She was so proud that she had harvested all the carrots in the vegie patch.  

I was suffering with Ross River Virus and my husband was busy harvesting the wheat crop.

Needless to say we found time to prepare all the lovingly harvested carrots for the freezer.

Little Miss was put on carrot topping and washing duty, then Hubby and I diced the carrots into the saucepan.

The carrots were blanched in boiling water for a couple of minutes and then put into freezer bags and straight into the freezer.  

We can now enjoy eating our harvest at our leisure.

Enjoy

Homegrown vegies

Eating something you've grown yourself is definitely rewarding.  

The time spent watering, weeding and nurturing the plant is well worth it when it is dished up on your plate.  You know there are no hidden pesticides or chemicals and I think the food tastes even more delicious knowing that you did it all yourself.

The carrots were a purple heirloom variety from the "Diggers Garden Club". 

I have let the vegie patch get over-run during the Summer months.  But after looking back at this photo I am determined to get out and pull the weeds out and put the seeds in.
