+1 on the carrots. This was the first year I tried growing them, as I always thought they were these tiny, finicky little things that were hard to get started outdoors-wrong! I grew an heirloom variety called Purple Dragon, and they have a lovely outer purple layer and deep orange inside. They are small, and got to be about 3 inches long. But they are very sweet.

I still have some in the ground, and have been pulling them up every few days. They will last until the ground freezes (or I eat them all).
