Northern envy?

Black Spanish (black ones)
Minowase (long white ones on right)
German Giant (top of pic)


Carrots are:
Chantenay Royal
Oxheart
Danvers half-long

(your guess is as good as mine which is which)


Might have snow and freezing rain here tomorrow.....YUK!







Beer bottles for size reference....I haven't mastered the art of growing them yet!

OK....at the urging of my son....he wants me to admit to being able to grow those beers.

So here is the harvest....

(Carrots are for size reference)

Looks great, Rich!
I'll bet they taste fantabulous!!!

I was writing while you were harvesting your beer bottles!
I see that you've already used up that batch!
Got more to "harvest"?

Great looking harvest there Mater! Both the veggies and the beer!

Carrots and a beer chaser....hmmmm....

Patty, a friend of mine who lives in Montana says that leaving her carrots in the ground during the winter makes them sweeter and better than pulling them up in summer. She pulls up what she needs from under the snow.
What a fun idea-using the ground as a fridge !

Yup, that's the way we did it (in Montana) when I was a kid. It works great, if there is plenty of mulch on top to keep the ground from freezing where you'll need to dig.

I can't help but notice the bottle of Hofbrau Original.

Oh yes the Hofbrau Hous in Munich, most famous Beerhall in the world.

Where a beer is served in Liter Mugs!!!

I use to travel there on weekends while I was stationed in Germany. Great place!
There is a lot of history behind that building.

Long benches and tables, great folk music to party and drink to! Prost!!!!!

My Hofbrau shirts are long since gone but I do still have one of those liter mugs around here somewhere.

I'll post it when I come across it.

(I need to find it anyhow.....I have recently received some of those beers and they should only be drank out of the 'proper' mug!)

I really liked the Ompapa band they had, and the barmaids serving up 6 liters of beer at a time.

I used to have one of those mugs with the holes in the side, but I lost it somewhere.

Patty, she lives in Hamilton, Montana.

I love white radishes. I have some to plant this comming spring and am looking forward to it.

I've been harvesting carrots all winter from my garden also, no snow though just mud and mine are not even mulched.

I could probably harvest some carrots if the ground was not frozen solid.

What a great harvest Mater!!!!!!!!!!!
