Damn Olive!
What did you do to get such a huge carrot?
What type of soil do you have? What type of nutrients did you feed it? How wet has it been since it's been planted like how much/ rainfall have you gotten?
I'd also like to know about the texture and taste because the larger carrots I've grown in the past have always been a bit tougher than the smaller ones.

I would also like to know about the density/consistency. Is it still a tasty carrot? Or is it rock hard and bland?

Wow..... just wow.

carrotsistics
this carrot is 32cm in circumference at its thickest and weighs 869g

was planted from seed october 2014- packet from a hardware store, the seeds were titled 'all year round carrot' mostly organic liquid fertiliser for these, then nothing at all for 5 months. grown in a raised bed ontop of clay, prob why they stop at the base of the soil and then get fat instead of growing long into the clay.

its central core does not look as tough as we thought it would be so it's going to be cut up and roasted.


there have been previous impressive veg and carrots, will post more when they are unearthed or picked.

the roast......... sorry if you don't like meat, that there is some lovely pork. potatoes from the garden and of course the carrot ( i garden, the other half does the cooking, works well)

mmmmmm crackling........

the carrot

good feed, home made apple sauce, i gave the sauerkraut to the dog with the plate to lick, she loves that shit and it means you don't have to rinse the dishes before they go in the dishwasher

the carrot tasted fine, the texture was a bit different than a smaller carrot, less refined and sweet

these went to the compost
