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.

This one time I thought I planted carrots but it was actually California poppy.

The foliage before the flower was close enough i was convinced they were last years popping back up … I was shocked when it shot a flower up.

Anyways, are you sure it’s a carrot?

Yeah, i bought the seed. The plants next to it did normal carrot things. And there is a carrot attached to it in the ground, just thinner.
