Check out our green thumbs!

Temps in the great northwest are dipping below freezing a little too often, so Jeremy decided to take his son out to the garden and dig up the last of the potatoes and carrots. As you can imagine, Noah was tons of help (!!!). Noah had a great time. Afterall, he's a boy and Dad was giving him permission to get dirty. Does it get any better than that??

Daddy and Noah doing some gardening:

One for Noah's wheelbarrow:

Wow! This is heavier than it looks!


Surely there's something Noah could be smacking with this gardening hoe. Where's the dog when you need her??


Our last little crop. You'll note that all of our carrots are really, really little. We didn't intend to do that. That's just the way we grow them!


And totally off-topic, but here are Taylor's Halloween toes:

We grew carrots like that in Georgia, the soil is so hard that they can't grow downward--just get thick and wide. cute pics of your farmers. Hey Taylor--cute toes!!!

Did you know that if you leave your carrots in the garden over the winter they will continue to grow? I didn't know that until my brother-in-law told us that last year so we tried it and sure enough they continued to grow. Somewhere in my blog I have a picture of one of the carrots we picked after the snow melted, it was pretty big.

That is awesome you grew potatoes. We'll have to try and grow those next year.
