We planted a bunch of carrots this year and they got very large in diameter but only about 4" long. Some of them are actually more round than they are long. They just don't taste the best either. This stubbiness is this a sign of not enough water or fertilizer? I tilled the garden up a couple of times with a tiller and tractor and got the soil loose at least by 6".

Any comments would greatly be appreciated.
