Ms. Uhl provides a quick and delightful read on how a person can ensure that they have an essential vegetable available for all seasons of the year.  This short book covers a variety of potting methods, both inside and outside, how to maximize space for those with small homes and/or yard space, the best kinds of soils and the nutrient mix that are needed in a soil to ensure the best carrots.  There is also a short list of the different varieties of carrots that can be grown.  A quick piece towards the end of the book details how to get the maximum nutrition from your carrots.  With a little planning, a family can have home-grown carrots year round for meals.  Parents of a newborn might also grow carrots for when their baby is ready for semi-solid foods instead of buying a stack of jarred baby food.  While this book is not going to be for everyone, I would highly recommend it for those looking to save some money by growing at home as opposed to spending money at the store, where costs are constantly rising on all forms of food.
