Is there a contest for the world's largest carrot?

Well In my previous post you saw that we got our first snow storm.  We had heard there was a threat of snow and freezing temperatures so we decided to harvest the last few items in our garden.  The only things we really had left were leeks, carrots, and a few spare onions.  So Kevin went ahead and harvested our Garden.  He came in smiling and laughing at the carrots. So I had to rush over to see what all the fuss was about.  We had 3 really large carrots.  One of them broke as he tried to get it out of the ground, so that one is not in the picture.  How ever, I think we could have entered one carrot in the oddest carrot contest if there were such a thing.  I think the one on his left could have been entered into the largest carrot contest, is there such a contest? Tell me what you think!

 

I have no clue what we did differently this year except we started acupuncture with Chinese herbs. Many of these herbs went into the compost, if not all of them. I wonder if that is  was caused these carrots to look as though they are on steroids?  Last year we grew carrots and most of them were short and fat. We did have a few normal size carrots. So you can imagine how shocked we were to see these large, and Odd carrots.  So far the carrots are very tasty. I have heard people say they are going to be too meaty, but when cooked they are delicious and tender. Very tasty!!!! I would not change a thing, and hey the look on Kev's face is priceless!!!!
