Heirloom tomatoes 🍅🍅

I'm a bit tardy in posting these carrot photos, bu I'm a bit tardy in posting these carrot photos, but here are the gems I harvested just before Thanksgiving. They were in the last bed to be prepped for winter. Planted in mid-July, I managed to save them throughout the raised bed rebuild. I'm happy to say 1) the carrots are delicious, and 2) all beds are finally put to bed for the winter. No more hauling soil...time for a rest!
