WHITE CARROTS? WEIRD AND WONDERFUL HEIRLOOM VEGETABLES!

Hey everyone, they say that, 'you are what you eat' and I certainly agree. About 2 months ago I embarked on a natural journey, a healthier more natural way of life. My first step was to buy only the very best heirloom seeds which I got here a fantastic South African well known and world renown website for selling just that. www.livingseeds.co.za

Any guesses what this is? I guess the title of this post is a dead give away, however, if not for that 'clue' most would guess a radish, right?

Are you a believer? How incredible is that? Legitimately that is what I say it is, no photoshop here at all this literally is a magnificent heirloom white carrot. Do check out a post I did here with my lovely heirloom purple carrot https://steemit.com/palnet/@craigcryptoking/purple-black-carrots-yes-really

As you can see in the background from where I pulled this, the leaves are just normal carrot leaves. I am going to be buying myself a juicer soon, the plan is every morning as a breakfast supplement to juice these with celery, kale, spinach, beetroot and a few other amazing heirloom veggies in my garden. Nutrition has never looked better!

Some more interesting heirloom leafy greens, this resembles Fordhook Giant Spinach? Well if you guessed that you would not be too far off as it is the same family, however, what this is, is a Canary Yellow Swiss Chard!

Talking about Fordhook Giant here she is in all her glory. Delicious to steam up with all the Chard, Kale as well as the Chinese Machilli Cabbage also in this pic in the background, naturally, as heirloom as they come!

Here we have some more Swiss Chard they call 'Flamingo Pink' Chard for obvious reasons, it does look a little more red in this pink though.

What would a post be without a little critter or two, here we have this pretty ladybug catching Aphids on the Spinach, I must say between these little guys and the Wasps I have very few problems with natural vegetable eating insects, too blessed!

Here we have some amazing tasting loose leaf gourmet lettuce a full spread, these I used for salads only, I can't imagine they would taste too good cooked??

I am in the process of making a homemade 'fertilizer' I plan to call 'Humble Harry's Homegrown Plant Food. I have been experimenting with it on all these vegetables, by the deep rich colours you can see it really is working incredibly well, that recipe to follow sometime in future here for sure ;)

Here we have a row of Onions around 2 months old, to the right more Spinach and to the left another row of baby Carrot's as well as more loose leaf gourmet lettuce.

Now to the last picture and it is a 'goodie' but before we get to that. My purple Carrots when sliced in half are orange inside, truly amazing, amidst much surprise and intrigue I was expecting to have the same result here. Cut in two and the inside was an astounding snow white, WOW. So what do these taste like you may ask? The simple answer is just like any carrot, probably as it is heirloom much healthier than the pesticide laden commercially produced we buy in stores, just truly delicious and nutritious!

My plan going into summer is to purchase more heirloom seeds and plant as many as I possibly can including multi-coloured Corn and multi-coloured Watermelon, heirloom as well. Be sure to stay tuned for that it promises to be incredibly exciting.

I trust you have an amazing week further and with the Bitcoin on an absolute tear, why not?
