Just a little recap from last weeks
post. So, last week, I bought a pot to grow root vegetables in, and
I don't know which plant to grow. I am thinking about growing
potatoes, carrots, beets and etc. Today I am going to talk about why
I want to grow carrots in the pot.
So, I've been thinking long and hard
about why I would like to grow carrots in my pot. Well, I have grown
carrots before and they have turn out to be a success. I want to
grow carrots because it's almost a fail-proof vegetable unlike most
other roots. Also, I would like to try growing heirloom and
different colored carrots as well as it would be a nice thing to try.
Also, with carrots, you can eat them straight from the ground, which
I really love about carrots. I love the carrots nice, crisp, crunchy
taste about them. I also find carrots to be a comfort food, like
when I'm hungry, I can always pull out a carrot, peel it and eat it
just like that.
A reason why I was
a little reluctant to grow carrots is because they are so cheap at
the supermarkets like Safeway or Costco. One reason, why I decided
to grow carrots is because you know you aren't getting hormones in
your food. Also, for some odd reason, carrots taste better when
home-grown. Maybe it's the freshness of the carrot or the fact that
you grew it yourself, I really don't know, all I know is that it is
without a doubt in my mind, it's true.
Now, I have even
more plants to think about! I have to choose between potatoes,
carrots and the upcoming posts! Hopefully, my mind will be made up
before the week is over!
