We Have Fertile Gravel
I may not be the world's best gardener, but I want you to know that I am not responsible for this
We have a little colony of volunteer carrots coming up in the gravel BESIDE one of the garden beds. Not IN the bed--beside it. Obviously, the gravel isn't very deep. BUT
It also holds some really happy butter lettuce, as well as little parsley & fennel plants EVERYWHERE. The butter lettuce I was excited to see, as I didn't plant any this year, but I admit, I'm a little chapped over the carrots. If they were as willing to grow where I actually plant them, I'd be fine. But I've planted them in multiple places and they are just barely coming up in one of them. I even gave the little devils some sand in the dirt so it would be easy for them to grow into nice long carrots. Little buggers--next year I'll give them gravel.

Gardening must be like golf... It's good for your health, things don't always go where you want them to, the result is usually interesting, and finally... with that much stress, people who don't play wonder why people who do play... keep playing.
I hear ya! Man, that is one freaky looking carrot...
