It made babies π₯°
So that's how baby carrots are made

I don't know why, but it reminds me of the centaurs from fallout...
For me, it reminds me of the guy in Robocop who got doused in toxic waste
Think it's the color. And how neither should exist.
You remind me of the centaurs from Fallout.
Would you like a multi appendage hug? Lol

@ickplant #Alt4You Photograph of gardening serendipity. The caption reads "This carrot. Forgotten in the ground for two years." Pictured is a cluster of green stems sprouting from a biblically accurate monstrosity of root vegetable. Roots reach out in every direction, as a low voice murmurs, "Be not afraid. I come to herald a great mirepoix."
I'm hoping to pull up a monster like this someday after having left a few in the ground. All the ones I pulled liked like they had barely been growing for a couple of months!
Did you, by any chance, transplant them when they were small? Carrots realy hate that and tend to skip root growth.
Nope, they were all direct-seeded. Three different varieties in fertile, well-draining soil with no rocks, clay, or significant compaction.
Okay, then my assumption was false and your case remains mysterious!
Thanks for trying!
A rabbitβs dream!
Rabbits actually don't like the orange part. They like the greens. Bugs bunny fucked that up for everyone.
Many do actuallyβthey will prefer the green part of course, but the orange part is more of treat because of the high sugary content.
