Alien carrots and other beetroot


 I'm always proud of my home grown vegetables, even when they turn out to be alien monsters. The latest crop of carrots are as monstrous as they get!

They taste all right though. As do the perfectly formed beetroots - incredibly delicious things, freshly picked and cooked home grown beetroots.

I put it down to Sydney's exceptional drought of the last few months. We had a total of 46mm of rain over 131 days until the other day. Then there was about that much over a couple of days, and the garden and the bush are so grateful it's not funny. The carrots obviously thought it was funny though.

The beetroot's nicely cooked now. Must go and dish it up.
