Face it, you just couldn't eat the cutest carrot... even if it does look like
an alien
She's been dubbed The Baby Whisperer for helping hordes of women realise their
dreams of starting a family against medical odds.
Now it seems acupuncturist Yvonne Darnell, 46, has used her special skills to
give life to one of her own carrots - which bears an uncanny resemblance to an
angel-faced alien.
The 'Sussex Stork' dug up the unusual legume from her Burgess Hill garden.
Alien roots: Acupuncturist Yvonne Darnell, dubbed The Baby Whisperer for the
number of women she has helped to conceive, has grown a carrot with a distinctly

Yvonne has helped 80 women, who had previously been told they had no hope in

Lightyear lookalike found by Clive Williams in Henley-on-Thames, Oxon.
In 2010 a U.S.S. Starship Enterprise-shaped potato was spotted at the National
Gardening Show in Shepton Mallet, Somerset.
Amateur gardener Peter Glazebrook pulled up the giant spud - weighing a whopping
8lb 4oz.
Baby-shaped pears, a parsnip that looked like a witch and a potato teddy bear
have all also been discovered.
