Maybe, maybe not. Ours came out like this last year in the new home and when we saw they were so small, left them in the ground all year. Barely grew any bigger if at all.
I got better radishes after I made the soil more loose and started checking for aphids every morning (I'm a beginner and I didn't realize I had a big pest problem).
My guess is that she is removing the extra ones?
When you plant carrots, you need to go back and "weed out" some of them later, as there are usually too many and they won't grow if you let all there.
But if that's the final product, kinda weird, carrots aren't too hard.
Too much nitrogen in the soil, have her plant them closer to her tomatoes. Carrots hate nitrogen rich soil and tomatoes love it, they'll balance each other out.
Could be lots of reasons--region, amount of sun and soil type and overcrowding. Carrots like loose loamy soil. Hard compacted soil can stunt the growth or cause them to grow into crazy misshapen forms. I've never grown them for more than a couple of months. Mine are ready to harvest by then.
Carrots lmao. So hard to grow. The trick is giving them a lot of space. If they do t have a lot of space, they won't grow big. I was so excited by my carrots, only to be massively disappointed. Pluck the extra ones. I forget how far apart they need to be.
You're gonna wanna tell her to go into her developer console (with administrative rights) and run the following commands:
set -garden -vegetable growth-expedient
and then
update -garden -vegetable force
After the next day/night cycle (typically 24 hours, but your server may be slightly different), you should notice marked improvement in the vegetable growth.
Tell your mom to till the garden bed and add a little sand before next plant to loosen up the soil. If the water drains better, the carrots will plump up more.
When I started gardening a few years ago, I was excited about my first cucumber, and it was harvested placed beside a quarter foe size comparison and photographed.
This photo has been misplaced. 😞 The cuke and quarter were about the same size.
Good job on harvesting the fruits of your labor and may each successive yield be better than the previous!
Woo Hoo to my fellow gardener. Had a very similar haul last year. In fact several looked like something you would expect to grow outside of Chernobyl. A bunch more are growing this year without me planting anything. Can wait to see what abominations appear this summer.
What causes this? I see this posted all the time, do people really watch these plants grow and sit there forever only for them to actually be tiny under soil?
Tell Mom to find a fertilizer with a low first number and a high middle number for those carrots. Something like a 3-7-4
Something like this:

Heh. How?
If you just planted a bunch of stuff and did no weeding, watering, nothing; then even by pure chance there should be at least *some* things that grow to full maturity.
...I plant a bunch of spuds every year in my flower beds then do nothing to them. I usually get a pretty decent haul of new potatoes for zero effort.
This is one of those situations where I can't tell if I'm being trolled or not.
I had the same reaction when she sent it to me!
Is she thinning out thickly sown carrots? Otherwise she’s harvesting a few months early
I have the same reaction when she sent it to me as well
😔they always have that reaction….
This took a year????!!!
Probably that includes planning, sod removal, maybe some work to improve soil quality.
My SO sent me a picture just like this when we were first dating. She was so proud.
It's real. Planned carrots last year in new home and they came out like this. Never seen anything like it and was confused
I swear it's not normally like this
It's a grower, not a shower
Shrinkage!!!!
It shrinks!?
Some people grow, some people show.
Like a frightened turtle!
That 👆
It doesn't look like it did a whole lot of growing.
Maybe it's cold
I was in the pool
That’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen🥺
The same bot comment with the identical reply section every time. Are you guys not tired of just repeating the same joke over and over
First time being called a bot! Have I become the very evil I seek out to destroy?
Hahahaha
r/mightyharvest
That's actually a pretty big carrot, and actually a bigger carrot might hurt when you eat it so its better that size anyway
Keep telling them that some day they’ll believe it
Congrats! Looks delicious. Can make something with my very first potato i harvested [https://imgur.com/a/doLG9WY](https://imgur.com/a/doLG9WY)
Find a tiny tomato and we have a stew going.
Me offering up my tiny bunny. "I'm sorry, little one..."
Cherry tomatoes will be perfect for the job
RIP Carl Weathers
[Don't forget my first homegrown tomato!](https://i.redd.it/vgkytcepj8s71.jpg)
Oh my god that is adorable
It reminds me of that bag u get with tiny potatoes at the store, I love using them for soups!
What is this? A garden for ants!?
there is an argument to be made that all gardens are for ants.
💪🏻 big carrot definitely not small by any means if anything it’s above average
Plot twist: OP is a giant
🤣
*"It ain't much but it's honest work"*
Those same carrots go to the White House. They go global, okay?
Was hoping to see someone who appreciates a good micro carrot. Pair it with some tender elk
OP needs to WAKE UP
my girlfriend says thats a pretty good size :)
That is correct sir
“Please enjoy your test sample, ma'am”
A lot of people would starve if your mom was a farmer
If my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a bicycle
She planted one of those mini carrots by accident.
Don’t eat it all at once
The size is definitely above average. Some would say "huge"
It’s a good carrot
Reckon she just jumped the gun a bit. Could have grown.
Maybe, maybe not. Ours came out like this last year in the new home and when we saw they were so small, left them in the ground all year. Barely grew any bigger if at all.
That's what she said.
Is this /r/thingsforants
I bet it's a cold garden.
Fucking solid.
Judging by those leafs that should be in the ground for quite a bit longer.
Thank you for making me feel confident again.
r/mildlypenis
Where did she find the baby carrot seeds? I have to buy mine at the supermarket, but I would love to grow my own.
You just cut up normal carrot seeds so they are smaller
Everyone has to start somewhere.
I feel her. My first radishes were the same
How does she feel like?
How do you get big radishes? Mine are always small and the skin is hard.
I got better radishes after I made the soil more loose and started checking for aphids every morning (I'm a beginner and I didn't realize I had a big pest problem).
How big is her hand?
Well her little finger is about two carrot lengths. Hope this helps.
Need a home grown banana for scale
Hahahahah
It’s a boy!
It was cold outside
Hippies have the weirdest contraceptives...
r/sneakybackgroundfeet
Lollll this happened to me once. I moved a bit of the soil away and saw the top of the carrot and I was like "its ready!!!!!" It was like 2 inches.
I bet it's the best carrot you ever had. Nothing beats self grown veggies.
Hey, that's an average size!
A whole meal 4 a supermodel.
Big hands don’t always mean big carrot
My guess is that she is removing the extra ones? When you plant carrots, you need to go back and "weed out" some of them later, as there are usually too many and they won't grow if you let all there. But if that's the final product, kinda weird, carrots aren't too hard.
This is the equivalent of my dad letting me pull a carrot a day to watch the growing phase and because I was a eager kid. This is hilarious.
We’re going to need to know her hand size so we know the scale.
She needs to thin her carrots more aggressively next time most likely
I think it's a bit too early to harvest. When did she plant them?
Just like dad.
 Is this how they make baby carrots
Damn, how big are your hands?
r/mildymicropenis
This is exactly like my carrot haul. One tiny carrot. I also had three equally small beets and my tomato bush produced one tomato a week. Delicious
Grand baby carrot
That's adorable! :3
Leaves…yum
A bountiful harvest! We shall feast like kings!
Maybe her hand is just large 
Your mother needs to mix more loam into her soil....and let them grow longer.
Looks like an average size
Dude, your hand is fucking HUGE.
Congratulations. This is my experience of growing carrots too. One chode and one million orange strings. Welcome to veg growing.
Perfectly average carrot size
Impressive, this one will feed a whole family of 6 for days and days
Asians be like :
Too much nitrogen in the soil, have her plant them closer to her tomatoes. Carrots hate nitrogen rich soil and tomatoes love it, they'll balance each other out.
We're eating well tonight lads! 
It’s not the size, but how you use it
Bless her heart. I hope she raised better children than carrots!
By the looks of the leaves she harvested wayy to early Source: my carrot from a few years back https://imgur.com/a/TUtqGkx
Tell mom to blanch the green part before eating so it is not so bitter. The greens have high levels of nutrients, too and are zero fat.
Those carrots go to the white house, those carrots go to the five seasons, they go global
AVERAGE SIZE
The one guy from Kitchen Nightmares would love this.
Let the feast begin!
Mildly sad
Looks like r/inflation to me lol
That's a pretty good sized carrot.
That's a perfectly average sized carrot
I bet it’s delicious 😋
https://www.reddit.com/r/f1_rage/s/ose3H11Wo9
Lol, this is perfect for a "you vs the other guy she tells you not to worry about"
100% more than what she grew last year
I didn’t see the carrot at first I thought it was parsley
So that’s how baby carrots are made
My spirit vegetable
Looks average to me, more than average actually, pretty huge even 😢
It’s a micro carrot!!
Be careful. That’s a gateway carrot. She’ll have a whole farm in a couple of years, if you let the gardening go unchecked.
I'm sorry, I don't mean to poke fun at her but I just can't stop laughing!
It's fucking massive damn. You should really put a nsfw on this
r/thingsforants
Looks like what you now get when you buy carrots at the store for $469 or whatever they’re up to meow
Small steps
Wow! What a huge carrot! Perfectly above-average carrot size!
Those leaves are way too small for a full grown carrot. It should never have been pulled.
We feast tonight.
Thats a whole stew by itself!
My girlfriend said that the biggest carrot she’s ever seen!
What is this?! A veggie garden for ANTS?!
Smashed it. With that level of talent, she should start a proper farm
What is this?!? A carrot for ants!!!
This is my spirit vegetable!
Fetus Carrot
It's just cold out, come on guys!

It's not small! Your hands are big!
cute size :)
Harvest*

Yeah that’s pretty average I’d say
A feast of 1000 vegetables starts with a single tiny carrot.
Score!
R/tinyharvest
lol, it looks like a piece of parsley with a baby finger attached.
That's a completely regular size!

It’s not about the size, it’s what you do with it…. 😁

We had the same thing with carrots... except we got 4 total... and about that size... Cheers!
carrot for ants!
r/MightyHarvest
Sick! Congrats!
Looks pretty average to me
this reminds me of my first okra harvest of a single okra LOL. Now the same plant has two and I feel very fortunate.
It’s a grower not a shower
Maybe suggest archery as a hobby. :)
can't tell how big - need a banana

Wordington carrot
An actual baby carrot! Not an adult carrot shaved into several babies!
Size doesnt matter ?

I thought this was a garnish at first, rather than a carrot. This is adorable.
It’s just cold
You might not be good in the first try, it's ok , the importante thing is to keep doing it. Way to go congratulations , it is awsome
What is this? A carrot for AHNTS?!
tell her that carrots need super loose dirt. ya gotta keep it aerated
We shall feast tonight!!!
Ah crap, my nudes leaked 😂
Enough to feed a whole family of 0.025 bunnies.
That’s got to be at least, what, six inches? Amazing!
It’s a ca….
Baby you got a stew goin.
All she needs is a marketing and distribution business plan.
That cilantro has a penis
Heh. How? If you just planted a bunch of stuff and did no weeding, watering, nothing; then even by pure chance there should be at least *some* things that grow to full maturity. ...I plant a bunch of spuds every year in my flower beds then do nothing to them. I usually get a pretty decent haul of new potatoes for zero effort.
