All Carrots Great and Small


I decided it was time to harvest my carrots and beets before the bugs ate them completely. 
Here are the fruits of my labor!



3 butternut squash (plus 2 we already ate), all of the carrots and most of the beets.












Don't you just love all of the colors!













The largest carrots.




The smallest carrot.



The most artistic carrot.



The most socially acceptable carrots.


 
The tallest carrot top.  The red line is how tall I am.




The one and only cabbage head, full of worms - yum!My cabbages didn't do well. 
This is the best out of a dozen plants.  Any tips?




The largest broccoli head.  (It's that tiny thing in the middle).
If anyone knows why my broccoli didn't head, please let me know.




Our biggest pumpkin - that's my boot.
Too bad it won't be orange in time for Halloween :(


And from earlier this summer:

 
I forgot to pick cucumbers for a few days when it was really hot and ended up with some really big ones! (That is a wide mouth quart jar!)




This was my entire broccoli harvest a couple of weeks ago.  Maybe they will keep producing - pretty pathetic, I know.


I'm very sad I didn't take any pictures of my tomatoes and beans.  It was a great crop!
I plan to double the size of my garden next summer.
