Carrots in Love

Well, last week was harvesting time at our house. I meant to post earlier but life was too busy. I dug up all the carrots, radishes, tomatoes and onions. I got a ton of carrots! We've been eating a ton and I still have a whole bowl full. I found this really cool carrot:

I think they are in love. Have you ever seen snuggling carrots?

Really... is anyone in need of some carrots?

My onions aren't very big, but still good (I didn't know you are suppose to hill them up). I dried them out for a couple days outside (thank goodness the weather was good when I did all this), then I stored them downstairs. A lady I was sitting next to at the dinner before the RS Broadcast, said to put them in an old pair of panty hose. So we'll see if that helps them last.
I picked off the rest of my tomatoes, and pulled them up this last Saturday. Glad I did, because it got really cold after that, and then snowed today.
My aunt and I are going to manure and compost gardens hopefully Thursday so after that I can put the garden to bed until next spring.
I have learned so much gardening this year. It really has been a blast! I now know of some things I want to try differently next year. Hopefully my self discipline will be better to water, pick (and put up) and weed! I also need to learn how to put up beans and peas! So if anyone has some good advice... I need it!
P.S. I don't have a pressure cooker. Do I need one? How much are they and were do I find one?
