Carrots are biennial. The second year (and, to a plant, this counts) they don’t concentrate on roots, they want to use all that energy to leaf out, flower, and set seed. So replanted carrots are an excellent source of cut greens (which I don’t greatly enjoy, but they are an interesting herb and animals love them) and a very cool way to grow and save your own seeds.

Second to last reminds me of dwebble, minus the green stuff

It’s a fun experiment, but yeah they don’t do much but grow foliage. There are other things you can regrow from grocery scraps though. My favorite is planting the tops of pineapples, and you can even quarter them to get four plants from one top! Potatoes and sweet potatoes that sprout before you get around to eating them can be planted too, so can ginger root.
Sorry if this is stuff you already know, I just think it’s neat!

What kind of monsters have you created 😂
Good luck not having any nightmares when sleeping tonight. You know, I just recently started Stranger Things, and that purple carrot kind of resembles that thing Will draws in season two over the town. 🤣

I laughed out loud at this! If it makes you feel any better, carrot greens make a cool (but weird, but cool) pesto! It’s great swirled into yogurt or hummus with a little bit of olive oil, then used as a dip.

Just so you know ALL those greens are edible and great in.I chop them fine and sad to bean soup or chic noodle type soup.

And thus, the mutant carrots were born. Hideous and angry at their creator for giving them life, they scuttled the streets in the shadows.
Well…at least you have a lot of those oh so delicious carrot greens to eat!

my rabbit would like to help you out with those carrot greens 😂

Have you ever seen Aqua Teen Hunger Force? Reminds me of [Dr. Weird always saying “Gentlemen, behold _____!”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGm2Q4jUV8Y) and then seeing something weird or underwhelming.

Hey! You can always take the carrot top greens divide them into even portions and freeze to use in stocks and broths. I love to add carrot greens to our veggie broth but we’re all out!

I usually use the tops of store bought carrots to make flowers and seeds. You could put them back and wait for blooming?

You can’t mutilate something and expect it to obey… that’s some resident evil shit…

Vitamin filled horror right there. Do potatoes next 😈

I’d say, grow them up, let them flower and go to seed. Collect those seeds and use them for next season’s crop.

OP, if it makes you feel any better, I’ve been trying to regrow lettuce from a romaine core. Behold the fruit of MY labor!
