These sad ass carrots we attempted to grow.

It looks like they have a good soil for the first 6/7 cm - 2/3” but then the bottom part is hard or doesn’t appeal to the carrots

Millions of carrots are imperfect and get binned because they are not what we are taught to expect. We grew a potato that had 6 weird knobs on it, and it makes you wonder how much stuff gets tossed because it does not match what we expect.

Baby food and mashed potatoes.....and peas and carrots (the carrots going into their dicing machine could be horrible mutations....you'd never know)
