You know, I never thought about that, but carrots are in the parsley family. Maybe they have to grow a year and then set seed their second year. My leaf lettuce that was left in the garden, threw up flowers and made seed one year. I don't think that we have ever left our cabbage out after harvesting to see what it would do. Broccoli will bolt to flower very quickly. |

I did a little research, and yes, carrots are bienniel and they do go to seed, but they won't necessarily be true to the original plant and will cross pollinate with Queen Anne's lace. I guess that's not a good idea to use them. Lettuce bolts fairly quickly when the temps get hot here. |

Here's a carrot (Healthmaster) that we wintered over the top in a flowerpot, it flowered, produced seed and we planted those with no problems..There is no Queen anees near, and only water hemlock a few miles away..so the seed were fine, and very productive Attachments:  |
