We had a harvest of carrots!

These carrots survived our crazy December/January weather in Dallas Texas.

Most of our winter crops froze the day after Christmas, but the club managed one large harvest before the freeze:


We were able to donate this basket to the Missionary of Charities Convent in Oak Cliff, Texas.
