        Sounds like the ring was in the soil & the carrot grew thru it. What are the odds of that?!!!

        it was 13 years worth of carrots trying to grow through the ring though. One had to succeed eventually.

        I'm guessing she dropped it in the soil where it stayed for a while and the carrot grew some years later?

        Lost my engagement ring in the garden while planting bulbs. Found it several years later on a flower stalk, after divorce finalized!
