Our gardens were pretty pitiful this year...partly due to crazy weather early in the summer that ravaged my tomatoes and other tender plants, and partly due to gardener neglect. I just couldn't get into the swing of tending gardens this year. The crops that did grow, with little effort and attention from me, included carrots and squash.
I recently decided to harvest all the carrots, and enlisted the help of a few friends in the process.
As I pulled carrots from the box, my friends cleaned up the weeds, bugs and other edibles left behind, giving the soil a better tilling than a machine!
And since Captain and George didn't feel it was fair for the girls to have all the fun, I enlisted them as taste-testers.
My carrots were given the canine seal of approval and a good day was had by all. Gardening is always more fun with friends!

Definitely! It's so nice to have a little help from your friends, isn't it? Your carrots look beautiful! I'd love to make a raised bed for next year.
Your carrots look beautiful! My garden was also a disappointment this year. It was just too hot and too dry for anything to thrive.
our garden was a puny thing as well... our okra thrived but that is about it - everything else is pitiful... too hot of a summer, crazy weather, weird soil fungus... your chickens look like quite the helpers though :)
