did i really just grow a carrot for two years? here’s what happened

I never thought I’d end up babysitting a carrot for two whole years, but here we are. I started with a tiny seed, just for fun, and then totally forgot about it. The next spring, I noticed these wild green tops popping up again. Instead of pulling it, I let it do its thing. Turns out, carrots get even sweeter after a winter chill. Watching it flower was wild—bees loved it, and my garden felt alive. Plus, the seeds from those flowers? Free carrots for next year! If you’re patient, letting a carrot stick around is actually super rewarding. I learned that sometimes, the best garden surprises come from just letting things grow a little longer than planned. gardening #carrots #growyourown #nature #gardenexperiment #gardening #carrots #growyourown #nature #gardenexperiment
