The San Diego Zoo:

Went to the zoo this morning to just walk around awhile.  We have a membership, so can come and go as we please.

We were walking around the zoo and I found one area where they were growing a bunch of veggies.  I'm wondering who planted it and why.  Are they doing something with the veggies?

I thought some of their plantings were spaced too closely together.  For example they had quite a few broccoli plants in one planter box, and I thought they were way too close together, and inter-mixed with other plants way too close together.

But hey, they didn't ask me.....

Here are their carrots.  They are sticking out of the ground about half an inch.  Time to pull them!
