CARROTS D<

[Deleted]

So...I planted carrots this past May. I planted a few rows of alternating orange and purple carrots, and today dug up a few. It took me two hours to get them all up, as they are mutants, save for a couple, and....I was confused as to why this happened. So. CARROTS.

the first one I dug up. would have been longer, but some of it broke.

What the what. How do I fix this. I dug a hole around it, and then flooded it to make mud so it might pry free. Also worth noting is two other parts of it broke in my attempts. They were yummy.

This is...well what. How do you do this.

The carrot put up a good fight.

...my garden might be radioactive.

if your carrots come up with weird shapes, there are two common causes. One is when carrot roots strike rocks, stones, old plant roots - the carrots will bend around the obstruction and grow into strange shapes. Another cause of odd carrots is clumps of fertilizer or manure - these will cause 'forking', where the carrot splits into a clump of several roots. The other common problem with carrots is due to too much nitrogen-rich fertilizer: you end up with lots of leaves above ground, but poor roots below ground. So, a good rule with carrots is to go easy on the fertilizer.

I didn't put fertilizer on the suckers and hoed the ground before I planted No clumps. Maybe fertile pockets, then. Or radition.
