I've found 'wrong shape' carrots are less appealing cos they're harder
to clean, as they have more bits to get soil caught in. *Beans that

I still do not know 'curly', does this mean that they go through 360
degrees, in spirals? Or simply curved. I know what the dictionary says, but
very very often, to posters here the dictionary is a bit of a relic.

Yes, some of them are spirals. On the same plants I have normal and
some curly ones. I just don't know what causes it
