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.
Bolting is when a plant diverts energy to producing flowers/seeds instead of the root, so yeah your carrot will probably be woody and bitter now - it's totally normal tho, just means the plant thought "oh shit time to reproduce" due to stress, age, or temperature changes.
Carrots can bolt, so if it’s one, maybe it was just stressed or a bad seed. Stuff happens.
If it was more, maybe it was environment or something else.
I didn't know modern carrots could bolt. Does this mean the actual carrot won't taste very good?
