Mondo Carrot

Every year in the garden plot we plant carrots and they are usually pretty sad and tiny.
For some reason, this year they all decided to unite into one giant, mondo carrot...





We waited and waited and finally at the end of October decided to dig it up and see what we were dealing with.

Well, the digging part was the first fun step; I didn't want to slice into the carrot, but wanted to dig as close as possible; so much scooping and "are you kidding me? How far does this thing go?!!" We finally pulled it out along with another, more normal looking one...


What a horribly ugly carrot! 
We definitely grew a mutant, that's for sure. 
The size of them compared to my coworker's hand is quite something!

Unfortunately, in addition to being ugly, the mondo carrot was also bad inside :-(


The other, however, was quite perfect and made for a wonderful curry...
