Between this plant and the old GAL in the ultra, I just harvested 20 bright orange Bulgarian Carrots. Chopped into rings and put them in a pint sized mason jar with some water, vinegar, salt and minced garlic for a good pickling.

Filled the better part of the jar, too.

Very nice

I'm seeing a few more red Jalapenos on this garden.

Hoping to see a few new Bulgarian carrots as well, but they don't seem as prolific

This garden is also suffering hard from my neglect during the dark months.  Not clear if I can nurse it back to full health.

But, at one point, I did get a significant harvest out of the Bulgarian Carrots, and with the final Carrots from the GAL, I made some really tasty salsa that I took in to work.  Frankly, I'm amazed it hasn't gone bad by now, but my boss won't let me throw it out because he absolutely loves the stuff.  And I must admit that the fruitiness of the Carrots made it some of the better salsa I've had, especially cray-cray given that I made it.  Most of my prior attempts to make salsa have been passable, but less than outstanding.

Maybe it became lactose-fermented accidentally, which is even tastier than regular.

Terminated after a successful run.  Gonna get one last batch of Bulgarian Carrot salsa out of this.

I wish I let  mine keep growing b ut the squirrels took mine apart when I transplanted outside,

[MaryL]

These sounded like they were really good.  Worth growing again.

Really liked the Bulgarians, but the skin's a bit thick for pickling.  But, my boss loved the salsa I made with a previous batch.
