The, Longest, Carrot, Ever.

Posted in Stuff by tokyobling on January 10, 2009

I found this in a local super market, I couldn’t resist the orange temptation! Isn’t it grand? I wonder how they grow them? Is it a forerunner of the mutant vegetable future to come? Is this how we will feed the starving masses of the planet? Maybe, but I for one welcome our new carrot overlords!

      It might well be! Thanks for the info and for the link, that is a great site. I might just order a set of seed for the coming summer. My garden plot here in central Tokyo isn’t big but it get’s a huge amount of sunshine. Thanks again!

      Hi! I didn’t measure it before cutting it up for dinner. About 80cm? Perhaps? It’s just something I bought in a super market anyway. (^-^)
