Bemused Daughter Shares Mom’s Vegetatively Odd Hobby With The World

There are many things that can be done with the average vegetable. The obvious one is cooking and eating them; you can always feed them to the dog if you're not a fan. The musically inclined might carve them up, turning them into a kind of perishable ocarina for a performance or two. When they start to disintegrate, you can save them to throw at somebody the next time they're bound up in the stocks in the village square. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even start putting them in orifices other than your mouth, and play a game of "more lube, or possible ER trip?".

The list of uses for our nutritious and delicious friends is endless, although most of us probably stick to the more boring options. It takes a real visionary to look beyond what society tells us we should be doing with these plants that we eat, and make something beautiful instead.

If only there were more people in the world like @teagannnnnn_'s mom, who does exactly that. She has an unconventional means of using some of the carrots that she grows, which has recently been the subject of a viral TikTok posted by her daughter. When she finds one that is in an interesting shape, she makes them into characters with individual personalities, outfits and stories. It is a beautifully executed piece of vegetable based-derangement, if those who saw the video were anything to go by.

From allotment to photoshoot, the effort put into this is admirable.

She also had to include a few more glorious examples.

It takes a special kind of individual to have this level of vision, but boy, is it great that somebody out there does. If anyone is in need of a new hobby, maybe it's time to start a movement.
