My grandpa used to have a garden in his back yard. Not gigantic, but big enough that he could grow some corn, and carrots, and potatoes, and Swiss chard, and zucchini, and maybe some tomatoes.
All four of us grandkids were always called over on harvest day because the best part was laughing at the funny carrots. Some would be massive, some would be tiny, and some would be straight up mutant. Even as we got older, we’d love when he’d bring his bounty to Sunday supper so we could get a chuckle.
My sister has a garden and she now plants various vegetables with, of course, carrots.
I cackled at this years bunch and so did my daughter. Her kids helped dig them up and they rolled around laughing so hard.
I love that this is a tradition because it’s so simple, and so pure, and doesn’t need a whole to do. It’s just carrots that look like worms, and carrots that twist and curl.
Do you have any silly traditions that are being passed on to your kids?
