This year I was very excited to add rainbow carrots to my garden. It was a first for me, and I planted those seeds in the hopes that I'd be rewarded with a huge carrot harvest. 

 

Fast forward to the end of summer: I've realized how much I don't know about growing carrots from seed, and how it was time to do a little research for next year.

Garden trugs are an ingenious invention for collecting and lugging garden flowers, vegetables and gardening tools around the yard throughout the busy spring and summer months. 

As a gardener and blogger who likes to share photos of her garden flowers and vegetables (displayed in pretty containers like trugs), I've become especially enamored of trugs over the past few years. I feel like not many people are familiar with trugs, so I'm excited to share my latest thrifted trug, along with some of my older trugs and some background information about trugs in general.
