Tell us about your garden - Page 2

So. I was showing my garden to my MIL. Here's the peas, the tomatoes, the onions, the carrots... "Oh, and more tomatoes?" No, just a different kind of carrot. We planted two different types. "No, those are tomato plants..." Nope, just different carrots, for sure. "Oh really? I've never seen a carrot top look like that. It looks just like a tomato plant. How strange!" Yep, just carrots, and here are beets, and...

I went back out today and you know, that row of carrots does look identical to my tomato plants. Like, I can't find any difference at all. And the seed packages for the two plants both show a close up of the bright orange-red tomato/carrot.

I'm pretty sure I grabbed the wrong package and planted an entire row of tomatoes instead of carrots by mistake.

And to make it EVEN BETTER, I've already added a second planting of what are definitely carrots in between each of the faux-carrots, to space out the harvest. So. That'll be an interesting mess.

I had only intended to plant three tomato plants. Last year I only had two and it was plenty for us. I don't know what I am going to do with...however many I have out there right now. I didn't even count. Lots.
