Free And Easy To Grow Carrot Flowers

 

Can you guess what kind of flower this is? Queen Anne’s Lace perhaps?  Not quite……….

Would you believe this is a carrot gone to seed?  These are so pretty!

I experimented with some vegetables, carrots, cabbage, celery and lettuce.

I planted the tops of the carrots we ate and the stem portions of the other veggies and they grew!

No seeds needed. I never harvested the carrots. I wanted to see what would happen if I let them grow. I was pleasantly surprised, I never dreamed that carrots would flower!

All I did was plant about a dozen carrot tops just below the surface last Spring, And I got this beautiful bouquet literally from kitchen scraps I would normally throw out.

  6. Looks like Queen Ann's Lace – which I believe can be deadly! Looks a little like Yarrow too in a way. I have to plant some carrots – it's very pretty!

    Thanks for always hosting the link party. I am joining with a little project this week.

  8. My husband, being the farmboy that he is, used to call Queen Anne's Lace, “Wild Carrots”, Mary. They must be from the same family or something, because they're one in the same or just look amazingly similar! 🙂
