Carrots flowering - JJB - 30-06-2020
I'm puzzled. I have some random carrots amongst the onions, they were last year's self seeded Solar Yellow I think. Why would these self seeded ones be flowering before maturity, they aren't even finger sized yet but are trying to go to seed. It's not a problem, these carrots are a bit manky anyway but its curious.

They’ve just bolted. Rip them out and compost them. They’re no good for seed saving & no good for eating.
I’ve stopped growing red samurai carrots for that reason. Think I only got 4 carrots from a whole packet, the rest just bolted.
