Cupcake comes from the farmer side of the family. I was, and try to be, the hunter and fisher of vertebrates. Learning the science of farming and language of moisture feeders is C3PO crap. Like any ex-military male, I assume it can’t be any harder than chewing gum.

Thus, when Cupcake intoned that I might be getting the carrots too close together, I had to correct her and show how it is done.  After 65 days of growth, I stand corrected…

These are really hard to dig up, too. The second bit of advice I have for novices is not to plant carrots where there are a lot of rocks. I’ve been getting an inordinate amount of L-shaped ones. I hate that when that happens.
