The really odd thing is that these carrots came out of my carrot barrel and were grown in sand and potting compost with not a stone in sight. So I can see no reason for this to happen at all!

I think that carrots are wiley little so-an-so's! I dug and sieved the ground before I planted my carrots, so, like yours Chantal, they should be lovely and straight. However, they are all growing exactly how they please! All bendy and bizzarre!
That's definitely a serious contender for the Turner Prize. I think carrots just grow that way to annoy us on purpose after all the effort we put in to making their home perfect. They're like petulent teenagers
Lots of love

Thanks Mr PH, my carrots are far stranger than those on the site; I may well enter.
One strange thing; the individual winner receives "a veg box for a year", do they not think we have enough veg already?

Nothing, it is your imagination I'm afraid.
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.
