Carrie Underwood has been super busy promoting her new album Denim & Rhinestones, but that hasn't stopped her from doing some old-fashioned gardening and growing her own fruits and vegetables at home near Nashville.

Carrie posted her garden work by showing off some of her veggies and fruit on Insta stories. She wrote over a photo of some veggies, "In my free time, I make things grow." She showed off her blueberries in the next frame, writing, "Picked fresh this morning."

Underwood's Denim & Rhinestones album became her 10th consecutive career Top 10 debut on the Billboard Top 200 chart.

All 10 of Underwood's albums (including nine studio albums and her 2014 Greatest Hits: Decade #1) have debuted in the Top 10, beginning with her first album, Some Hearts, which was released in 2005. Denim & Rhinestones, the top-selling country album in the U.S., is also the #1 country album in Australia, Canada, and the U.K.
