I’m not one to blow my own trumpet, nor do I buy into the whole competitive vegetable growing thing. But I just had to post this photo of a carrot recently pulled from the vegie patch. It measures 15cm long by a tick under 7cm in diameter. It was by far the fattest carrot I’ve ever seen.
The variety is ‘Royal Chantenay’. The truth is, this variety has a propensity for developing ample girth, so it’s not all my own doing. But carrots aren’t the easiest things in the world to grow, and I’m feeling a bit pleased with my efforts. Not smug, just satisfied.
And for those who are wondering: unlike most monster vegies, it was delicious!
