Midget Carrots

This is our first year growing carrots so we have no idea what we're
doing. It looks good from the surface but when you pluck one from the
ground -- it's smaller than Malia's finger. At least that was the size
of our carrots about 3 weeks ago.

Today it was bigger. Maybe a little bigger than Truong's thumb. It's
all relative, right. If I had to guess the growing cycle of regular
sized carrots you see at the store, based on our current experience,
I'd have to say at least a year! So every few weeks I will pluck one
out to see if they are ready. Maybe I bought dwarf carrot seeds or
something.

Malia doesn't care how big it is. As long as it's from our garden,
she'll eat it. Too bad we can't grow a steak bush. Or a chicken vine.
That would be awesome.
