So it was a long summer with all the rain we had, but it was a great summer. Harvest ended up good and so did everyone's moral, even though we had some slow days.
Below is a picture of the "Field Ornament" that I made. Some of the boys who were supposed to be moving pipe for me, so I could roto-till missed a piece.
And so this is what happens after a loud "BANG". It was left in the middle of a patch of Brocolli and hidden pretty good. Lucky no one was standing behind me because it shot out of the roto-tiller quicker than I could get the PTO shut off. 
We finally got carrots done also, seemed like a never ending job.
We finally got carrots done also, seemed like a never ending job. These are bins full of BAD carrots, crooked, broken or whatever may be wrong that we won't package them. There are going to be some happy horses somewhere though!
The carrots are GIANT carrots, as you can see. Most of them go to restaurants, not really sold in grocery stores. We bag/box them in 25# or 50# increments.
This is the antique carrot cleaner that we use. Go in dirty one end (right side of picture) and come out sparkly orange on the other end.
These are just a few that didn't get chosen. We saw some very strange looking ones. The one in the middle is almost white (albino carrot).
And the last day I was doing field work I had several visitors watching me and wondering where all the cabbage went that they were munching on.
