Amongst the many things I didn’t know is that today (Saturday 4th April) is International Carrot Day. Who knew the humble carrot needed bigging up to this extent. Possibly it was looking at a young carrot getting lost in the bottom of the veg drawer and thought to itself “Nobody puts Baby Carrot in a corner”. Next thing you know its got a major advertising campaign for Aldi and an International Day, flaunting its 1000 year history and Afghani past. Its also changed its colour over the years having started off purple and moved to orange which apparently was more acceptable (explain that to a beetroot!).

Carrots are of course very woke. There is never an unacceptable carrot shape, size or number of appendages. They are naturally quiet on the subject of their sexuality and gender. Because they get bullied by the parsnips who troll them on social media.
Sew some carrot seeds today. If you have any. Or any compost. Or anything to put them in.
