There is a difference between crops like Beetroot and Swedes, and long

The first thing the latter do is to send down their tap root, if it gets
bent or damaged then the resulting plant will have a lumpy root when lifted.


This is true for carrots sawn on unsuitable soil. I do not yet see the

Other things may happen, but you haven't mentioned any, for the time.
