“The Carrot To Rule Them All”: 50 Gardening Fails That Were Too Funny Not To Share (New Pics)
Many of us are used to the convenience of picking up fresh fruit and vegetables at the store or strolling through a farmer’s market. Bright red tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, golden carrots—they’re always there when we need them. What we don’t often stop to think about, though, is the effort it takes to get them to our tables.
Gardening may be rewarding, yet it’s rarely simple. You can pour your heart into planting seeds, tending to the soil, and praying for the best, only to find that Mother Nature had other plans.
That’s exactly what you’ll find on the subreddit Mighty Harvest. It’s where gardeners share results that didn’t quite turn out the way they hoped. But instead of being disappointing, the crops are often so tiny and endearing that they make people smile, while still reminding us of how much work goes into the food we enjoy.
Scroll down for some of the funniest examples.

I planted 8 different heirloom tomatoes one year and found all 8 had a reason we left them in the past. Skin splits just after fruit forms, fruit drops off the plant too easily, skin so thin you half juice them getting them off the vine, every single fruit ripens on the same day... The last one is great if you wanted tomatoes for canning but not if you wanted to eat them on sandwiches over time.

Water would have helped, you can tell the plant didn't get enough water from the seeds trying to emerge and well the size

The white ground spot will start to turn yellow and it will go from a hard wood sound to a hollow wet sound, also it will get slightly more squishy when pressed down upon over time.

I've had results like this with those little store-bought seed packets. They're usually duds.
