Carrots and Sweet Potatoes

The harvest of multi-color carrots was pretty good.  We planted a second round of regular orange ones in late summer for a late fall harvest, as they are supposed to end up sweeter in the colder weather. 


Our sweet potato vines went crazy, and actually produced a ton of huge potatoes.  But when we went to harvest them, all but about 5 potatoes had been completely eaten by voles.  The voles tunneled in under the bottom of the boards that are the sides of the beds.  Next year we might do the potatoes in buckets instead to try to prevent that.
