A journal of my home vegetable garden. Skippy thinks it's his garden, but I've been gardening here for 20 years. We're located near Boston (USDA zone 6). I have a big community garden plot and a small plot in my yard. I try to grow all of my family's vegetables using sustainable organic methods.
Oxheart is an old heirloom variety that grows enormous - short, fat roots up to 1 lb or more. I harvested a nice bunch of these last night for dinner. They tasted great.
Daucus carota

Your photos are just gorgeous-do you mind me asking what kind of camera you use to take your lovely garden pics??

Thanks!
Camera:Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi
You can see camera information for all of my photos if you click on the picture. The camera I used is listed at the right. More specs than you'd ever want to know are available under "more properties".
Its a wonderful camera. I have a multi-purpose and a macro lens for it.

What a wonderful carrot! Might work better in my soil as it looks like I wouldn't get forking problems. More like a beetroot shape.

Ok! Where do you get the seeds?! That is the most amazing carrot I have ever seen!

You can get them at Seed Savers Exchange or, where I got mine, at Seeds of Change.
