Peter Jackson dug up a carrot from his home's garden, found that it was shaped like a hand, took a photo of it ... and ate it!

Peter's daughter Lindsay said:

'My dad just seemed to make some joke about it being 'handy', took a picture and then I think they just ate it. He played it all down, but that's just the way dad is.

"We've not had anything weird since - no arms or legs to go with it. I don't think his garden is trying to build a carrot man. Now that would really be unusual.

'It was just one of those one-off freak of nature occurrences - but isn't it funny?'

Apparently, he's never heard of the Internet wonder of eBay where something like this might've fetched hundreds or thousands of pounds: Link (Photo: newsteam.co.uk)
