I always let carrots grow through the winter into the second year instead of buying carrot seeds and getting a little packet of seeds for two to five bucks. If you just let one carrot go to flour wait till the end of the season when it's all dried up and collect the seeds and you will have enough carrot seeds for yourself for many years. After always let carrots grow to the second year harvest the seeds never be without carrot seeds again
The seeds will be black
That is impressive!!!!
Definitely seeds! I did this last year and it only took the one season!
Wowww
If you planted in the fall then this is their second growing season 🙂
Maybe you just missed some last year?
You won't get carrots after they begin to bolt. They use the root as stored energy to produce the plant and seeds. I think pretty much most root crops operate like this. They use their root for energy storage so if left too long you won't have any sizeable root to eat or it'll be woody and bitter.
Just let them dry completely and the seeds will develop to use
Those are seeds just leave it longer to dry. Even if you pull it out and leave it to dry you will see the seeds.
I’ve been trying to grow carrots for two years and still haven’t gotten one large enough to eat. Last year they wouldn’t germinate and this year I think I planted too late and they won’t get big enough before the hot weather comes. Maybe next year!
Jesus woman, look it up on line.
The internet search missed you girl
Why did you just kill the next year's carrot ? You waited all that time jest to kill the plant right before. It was about to make seeds .
Should have cut some of the flowers so more nutrients went to the root
No you can harvest the seeds after their first winter after the flower heads have dried a bit
That carrot reminds me of Luke Stoltman
Yeah those are seeds. It's not necessarily the amount of years it lives it's the fact that it survived through winter is what triggers reproduction
Did you know your garlic should be grown for 2 years as well?
Yeah, just pick it when it’s two weeks away from giving you a fucked ton of car seeds. Great fucking idea. I’m sure you got so much more out of that 4 in.² space.
If it flowers don't eat the root once it flowers it meant he root is finished and tough. If you planted it last year it is now in its second summer. Usually carrots are planted in spring so the second summer is s year and a half away from it's planting. You planted in the end of summer so it's second summer came seven months later.
Experiment! Harvest the seeds and see what happens!
Who else thought a giant monster looking carrot will come out 😂😂😂
Those were seeds but were not ready yet. When the seed heads start to dry out you can snip it off and let it finish drying. I also just walk around and shake them around the garden. CARROTS EVERYWHERE!
That’s disappointing. I was expecting a huge jumbo carrot 🥕
