A GREEN-FINGERED gardener was shocked to discover a foot-long carrot while digging up vegetables.
The carrot was found by Stuart Boulton on his allotment in Smithfield Road, Darlington.
Mr Boulton, who works as a photographer for The Northern Echo, said: “I don’t know what caused it to grow the way it has.
“Someone told me if you manured the soil, the tips go off in search of the good manure, but I don’t know exactly why.
“I’ve grown some oddlooking vegetables in the past. Last year, I grew one which resembled something you couldn’t print. I made the foot into a carrot and coriander soup and it was very tasty.”

Oh wow, look what the Lord has made. I love the odd shaped veggies. This is quite, well, unique.
Looks like a proof-of-life photo that would be sent by the kidnappers of Bert and Ernie.
It’s disgusting. I’ll never eat human feet again.
Lol...that’s funny...:)
That’s Bill Clinton’s foot after consuming ribs (with his feet.)
It looks like Garfield’s paw.

Cue Dick Morris jokes...
Breakfast of champions!
Eat that thing, and you’ll get Foot in Mouth disease.
LOL. That calls for scissors.
