It’s that time of year when funny-looking vegetables start appearing, from twisted carrots to horny tomatoes. 

While some veggies are growing in weird ways, others are just weird looking naturally and some are downright dirty. With later vegetable varieties still ripening there are sure to be some more unique finds before fall. 

If you see a strange looking vegetable in your garden and want to share, please submit a photo of it to news@infonews.ca.
