Giant Carrot

This week I've spent a lot of time outside in our garden, clearing it out to get ready for the upcoming winter season.  As I was pulling out the leftover carrot section, I came across this big guy.

I have never seen a carrot this big in all my life!  I just had to snap a quick picture of my little helper holding it up. 
Even after holding this big guy up for only a few seconds she said, "Mom this is really heavy ...can I put it down now?"  Too funny, considering it's just a carrot! Lol!

What a blessing a garden is.  Just clearing ours out this week, blessed us with grocery bags full of green onions, tomatoes, carrots, a few giant zucchini's and a bunch of purple wild flowers.  Plenty for us and plenty to share!
