Soil was maybe too compact. Carrots like a nice easy to grow through friable soil otherwise they stunt, which appears to be what has happened to yours. Potatoes look good though!

@flapiz Yes, needs to be well cultivated at least 12 inches. Can't be recently manured as it has to he rotted right down to fine crumbs, or as near as. Still time to grow more if you work the soil.

@Orson_Kart I will tell my garden partner about that. We are first time farmers.

@flapiz I got some carrots and radishes from my "garden-veranda". They often also come in weird shapes and forms. We can get strangely shaped vegetables cheaper at most grocery stores here. It makes sense to use it, no point in throwing away vegetables because they're too big or too small for the packages.

@Torunn Yeah I am happy they taste the same anyway the only difference it makes with the food would be the presentation and also it's more difficult to peel and prepare. But still delicious if not for restaurant.
I want a garden veranda someday. I told my boyfriend that if we end up living together I'd like a garden space.

They still tasted like carrots but they are hard to peel because of all the bends, knooks, and crannies.

Potatoes look good. The carrots do look funny but as long as it is edible it is fine.

I agree to that. It's not like I'm selling it commercially.

Hmmm I feel like I didn't put it deep enough so it looks like wrinkled carrot.
