Yep, I grew this carrot in our vegetable garden this summer.

No, it wasn’t hard. I didn’t have to stimulate its growth at all. It faced some stiff challenges in May & June with very poor weather, but I believe it was inured and hardened by the experience. You may think I’m making a big deal out of this and stroking my ego, but it’s not like I want to erect a monument to it. I’m just rigid in my belief that it is quite an accomplishment.
Alright, that’s all for now. I have to return to my grade school playground to make poopie jokes about the teacher.
