Carrots are simply fun to grow. As the green stalks get bigger it fill my garden and my anticipation of chomping into a fresh carrot builds! Then I pull them and they are nothing like I imagined. This year my carrots are odd twisted and leggy looking. Oh well!
The twists and splits in carrots happen when they run into an obstacle in the soil (guess I had a lot of obstacles this year). If you have “hairy” carrots, this can be caused by too many nutrients in the soil.
Though they are not perfect, my carrots still taste great! Below are my top contenders for Crazy Carrot this year.
Even if they are misshapen, it is still fun to pull a carrot and see what you got. Good news, you can still plant another batch of carrots and try again.
Do you have any photos of funny carrots you would like to share?
I'd love to hear from you!
