Recently we asked our readers to send us photos of their large or unusual produce. The photos are still coming. This week we’re sharing a potato that might remind you a favorite cartoon character.

Heather Granvold, of Lake Park, Minn., says she’s a regular reader of The Forum’s “Garden Tales” feature. Given that, it makes sense that she says her daughter Shelby, shown in the photo, was excited to share this image of a potato that, they say, looks like Mickey Mouse.

“Sadly, we were unable to eat the funny shaped red potato, it was rotten on the inside.”

It’s a cute photo. But that was as good as it gets for that particular potato. Heather Granvold wrote, “Sadly, we were unable to eat the funny shaped red potato, it was rotten on the inside.”

We’ll have more unusual or interesting produce next Wednesday in the Life section. If you have some impressive or curious produce to share with us, e-mail a photo and a little about it to Features Editor Robert Morast at rmorast@ forumcomm.com.

Recently we asked our readers to send us photos of their large or unusual produce. The photos are still coming. This week we’re sharing another batch of twisted carrots.

Lola Langlie sent us this photo of the unique carrots that she and her husband grew in Glyndon, Minn.

Langlie wrote that they only had about 10 carrots come up, but “my husband accidentally tilled them under and this is what grew.”

Recently we asked our readers to send us photos of their large or unusual produce. Here are some pictures of some unusual and large potatoes, sent to us by a couple of readers:

The two sizable spuds were sent in by Deb Sletten of Mayville, with her grandson Kyle providing the modeling work.

Sletten says she pulled several large vegetables out of her garden this year.

The other item might not look like a potato, but Maurice Degrugillier of Fargo says it’s a Yukon Gold and it was grown by his cousin Laurence Heglund.

Degrugillier thinks it looks like the head of a teddy bear. Heglund believes it resembles an alien. Regardless, it was the only odd-shaped spud in the batch.

Recently we asked our readers to send us photos of their large or unusual produce. Here are some pictures of some unusual carrots, sent to us by a couple of readers:

The first carrot might pass as part of a Halloween costume, at least if you use it the way Dawson Breyer, 11, of Fargo, is holding it.

His mother, Cindy, sent this photo, which was actually taken last year. The unusual carrot was pulled from a relative’s garden in Fredonia, N.D.

Our other image collects a trio of odd carrots, which were sent to us by Deb Sletten of Mayville.

Sletten says she pulled these from her garden. The odd, purple carrots are striking for their color and twisted or deformed appearances. But the orange, seemingly normal carrot is also unique. Sletten says it’s 15 inches long.

She says it’s been unusually good year for large vegetables in her garden.

Forum staff reports

Recently we asked our readers to send us photos of their large or unusual produce. Here’s what a reader sent to us, and what one Forum reporter found while digging for stories:

The pumpkin that might remind you of a person’s rear end, was sent to us by Carol Kronbeck. She says her husband has a garden with plenty of pumpkins and squash, but this is her favorite “odd” one of the group.

More large than odd, Bill Larson’s big pumpkin was found by Forum reporter Dave Olson who took this picture when Bill Larson was transporting the 416-pound pumpkin to the Hotel Donaldson, in downtown Fargo. Larson says the pumpkin was grown at the family’s home on Big Cormorant Lake by his son Kal, a ninth-grade student in the Lake Park-Audubon School District. The gourd earned Kal $100 when the pumpkin placed tenth in a big pumpkin contest.
