Hi everyone,
Thank you for watching this week's video. I hope you enjoyed learning about why our main carrots are nowadays orange, what The Netherlands and Dutch farmers have to do with it and how the Dutch Royal Family has nothing to do with why our carrots are orange.

I'm not a big fan of royal family.. how's the weather there at the moment? Does the heat wave hitting the Netherlands too? I'm amazed by the fertility of agriculture there although we know that the Netherlands mainland is lower than sea level.. I'm pretty sure you guys have a really good water system. Keep it up, Manon! Love your content. Much support from Indonesia 😁

I can definitely imagine that!! The weather right now is heading slowly towards autumn- less sun, it gets dark pretty soon already, temperatures go down. So no heat wave here- in fact, we’ve had a pretty mild summer this year (which I prefer- the heat is not something I’m very good at handling😂). Yess, we have an amazing watersystem; I’ll make sure to make a video about that one day, so you know how it works! And thank you for the kind comment❤️😄

Is there a story about oranges? Was the king named after the fruits or the fruits after the king?
