At least you know it is fresh.<br />I think that the carrots look fine just the way they are! I got an email telling about the baby carrots that they sell here. You wonder why they are so perfect looking. They take the crooked carrots, run it through a machine to make baby carrots, and then they soak them in bleach! That is why after a few days at home they develop the white coating. Needless to say I am not buying those or eating them anymore!*Ulrike*https://www.blogger.com/profile/15640965012612927392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357865578794109155.post-55219561408601175752009-10-09T08:55:57.488+02:002009-10-09T08:55:57.488+02:00Ooh!

Something so-o-o French in way food is presented so aesthetically and savoured so ardently. Reminds me when a friend from Brittany visited me and I took her to the beach. As we explored the rock pools, I perceived interesting sea creatures, but she decided she was hungry and saw it all as food!

If you have a water feature, you can even put the ginger in a pot to sink in the water so that the root is no more than 3-4" underwater. I wedged a root between some rocks this spring and the ginger plant is now 3 feet high. It will bloom next year.<br /><br />Cameron<br /><br />PS Our Charm is trying to rally, eating well, and being cheerful. The vet says she has weeks or months, but not years.

Reading your post and admiring the photos made me realize I've visited at least one market a week all summer. Although it's often more convenient to do all my shopping at one of the larger grocery stores, nothing compares with the experience of wandering through stalls of fresh from the farm produce and other homemade goodies.<br /><br />Aren't we lucky?susan morrisonhttp://www.garden-chick.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357865578794109155.post-73961069427499862112009-09-29T18:10:43.911+02:002009-09-29T18:10:43.911+02:00Delightful Post!
