Giant Carrots

[Aaron]

While researching different vegetable seeds, I came across this article:

The Wenatchee World Online - Harvesting monster carrots

Carrots that are 6 inches in diameter at the top? Does anyone here know if they are really this big on giant commercial farms? The article doesn't say length, but diameter and they describe it too.

6" diameter carrot

Hi Doc,

No, but I'd love to. A 6" diameter carrot sounds like something out of Alice in Wonderland. That is a LOT of volume of food for one vegetable and I'd love to learn more about this...and to just see if it is true or not.
