Twisted carrots

There’s no particular reason for posting these photos of deformed carrots except for interest. Go on, mock my gardening failure!!

I have no idea why they grew this way, the soil isn’t stony, it wasn’t over manured and carrots in the adjacent row (a different variety) have grown long and straight. So, if you have any ideas, let me know. Otherwise just laugh at my disaster … it doesn’t happen very often!

How did they taste? Have you dared eat them?

I think they may be that way due to root-knot nematodes.

Wowsers - got a bit chilly standing in the garden to watch the sunset!

Cold & frosty walk along the river this morning - landscape almost as monochrome as the road signs. #dailywalk #armathwaite #preworboys #preworboysroadsigns

Who said there's no such thing as a free lunch?. In our house we don't have much "food waste". Everything left in the pan after tea gets used up. For lunch today I'm having left over prawn stir fry from last night's tea. If Mr T were here, this would have been made into tasty egg fried rice. Just as quick as making scrambled eggs - but much tastier - and an easy way to stretch your leftovers to feed two! Little bits of left over veg can be frozen & later added to soups or stews, rice can be added to a salad. Try adding the remains of a fruit crumble to a bowl of yoghurt or use it as a topping on your breakfast porridge. Before you throw any cooked food away, try to think of a "second life" it could have. Cutting food waste is an easy way to save money & reduce your environmental impact. I must admit, I do get a kick out of creating "free food" from my leftovers!!! [Steps off soapbox, polishes halo] 👩‍🍳 Got any more tips? Let me know. #changewahatyoudo #lovefoodhatewaste #loveyourleftovers #livesimple #ecoliving #cookingscrappy #cookwithscraps

Gardening without a garden! I knew I was going to miss my garden when we moved - but I hadn't realised how much I would miss the dirt under my fingernails! While I wait for spring and the chance to create a few veg and flower beds, I have turned the windowsills into mini greenhouses to plant veg & annuals! #girlgardener #forestgarden #permaculture #organicgardener #plasticfreegardening

Another cold and wet day. A slightly different walk this morning, up through Coombs Wood. I'm trying to walk a different route every day. We've been here 4 weeks now. It stills like a holiday - but slowly getting to know this place we call home! #armathwaite #dailywalk #onmytravels #womenwhowander

Edited to say new homes found - thanks everyone for saving these from the charity shop slush pile! Question: Do I know any artists / makers who use maps? Mr T has had a sort out & we have lots of out of date & damaged OS maps of Lakes, Peak District, N Wales. I don't want to throw them out. Tagging @susan_marsden_art @witchmountain @delicate_stitches in case they know anyone - happy to pop them in the post.
