This year Buffman (Shawn's middle son) has joined forces with his grandmother, Shirley, to bring you their thoughts on the healthiest vegetable's you can grow. They consulted Shirley's vast knowledge of gardening and nutrition and www.whealth.com

When planting carrots work the soil good and
deep. Take out any rocks or clods of soil. Improve the soil with lots of
compost for larger sweeter carrots. As carrots start to grow thin them to 2
inches apart.
Carrots
are an amazing vegetable that can be eaten either raw, or cooked. Did you know that carrot tops are edible? Try using carrot greens as a vegetable or as an herb like parsley.
Carrots are essential in stews, soups, boiled dinners etc. Try cooking them in a skillet with butter, add a good handful of freshly chopped parsley just prior to serving.
