Wild Oats - I mean Carrots...

We came acroos this big shoot of Queen Anne's Lace in the field behind our house and I was explaining to the Man-Cub that you can eat the roots of these wild carrots...

...so of course he wanted to...

...we chopped it off and cleaned it up and ate a bite of the carrot flavored WOOD! - haha - we'll have to find another one in the spring when they are young and tender - I bet they're more difficult to find then as they won't have their big white flowers on top...

    wow, i didn't realize that the root was that big! neat - you could be self-sufficient out there in the wild....you'd probably be cold though.....

    I dunno - it'd be pretty hard to survive on carrot flavored wood for very long.

    Love,
