Carrots - not just for your eyes!
It isn’t often that I can merge my love of popular culture and home grown vegetables but that is exactly what I’m doing today.
In the Clive Owen film Shoot em Up the main character Mr Smith seems to enjoy the odd carrot (having one with his coffee even!). He also uses a carrot to dispatch two evil doers in particularly gory fashion.
What did get my attention though is his home set up so he can have freshly grown carrots on hand, I’m very jealous:
And thanks to the wonder of movie magic Clive can reach for a fresh carrot without having to wash it. Maybe he’ll eat it, maybe he’ll kill someone.

Good to see you are getting back into it!
P.S. I liked the movie…had a great start, but it’s potential for some really great off beat stuff was missing more than hitting after half way.

I think there are some herbs that you can focus on in the kitchen on the bench or something - I have really bad luck with chives for some reason!!
I can tell you my carrots were never that clean.. tasty though!!!
