The Future's Bright, The Future's Orange

 That slogan is thirty years old. Do you remember it...

I've harvested the last of my lovely orange carrots from the raised bed. They have been delicious. I also took out the remaining chard  and salad leaves and made a big batch green soup to portion and freeze. Warm lunches for cold days... 
The Bone Cancer Research Trust sent me a thank you card, and bright orange tee shirt. I continue to knit at least 30 minutes a day, often more. And there are lots of satsumas and easy peelers in the shops, a favourite snack. And those orange autumn leaves are everywhere...

    I do re member that advert. Your carrots look great! You could leave your chard in. It does grow over winter and/or will come back. Kx

    That’s a decent looking bunch of carrots. Not an easy crop to grow I find.

      Thank you. I can't remember what variety it was. I will check my notes. Much more successful than last year's efforts, and a really good flavour. I picked some early as 'baby carrots' to thin out the planting, and left the others to grow longer and fatter. Very few straggly misshapen ones this year
