Was away about a week. One carrot decided to grow super tall and looks like it will make a big flower. The carrot under isn’t as big as it’s brethern that I harvested. This is a new variety of carrot for me called “short and sweet”. Never seen this with my other carrots.

Edit: I didn’t notice that the image failed to upload. I have tried adding an imgur link.

    Carrots, onions, and other biannial plants will sometimes behave as an annual. It’s usually caused by a genetic mutant but it can be environmentally triggered.

    In the wild they naturally are a mixed of annual and biannual plants depending on the growing conditions.
