End of Days in the Garden

Fall is, for me, a melancholy time. We also seem to have a lot of gray days in the Yukon in October. I decided today would be my last opportunity to get carrots before the garden beds were frozen solid.

I love eating my carrots fresh from the garden, crispy and sweet so I always try to eak it out to the last possible day. There have been years when I needed to use the pitchfork and spade to get the carrots out. 

I also found enough fresh pea shoots to have a tiny little stirfry.

Not bad for October in the Yukon.
