Fresh from the Garden

Earlier this week we harvested the carrots that we planted in October.  We planted the traditional orange variety and also some multicolored carrots.  We've been patiently waiting as they grow in the garden behind our school.  It was easy to pull them out from the sandy Florida soil.  We had orange, yellow, and purple carrots.  The teachers washed them, peeled and cut them, and then served them to the children with a side of ranch dressing.  Some things that surprised us: when you peel the purple carrots, they are orange inside and all colors of carrots taste like... carrots!
 Soon after we planted them.
 Our harvest.
 Who knew carrots came in so many colors?
 It turns out, when you peel the purple ones, they are orange inside!
Mmmmmmm.  Fresh and delicious!
