Growing Carrot tops

We've all seen the misleading articles about growing carrots from carrot tops and all (well most) of us know that a carrot top will not grow a new, edible root. However, the top will grow leaves which are edible, if you like that sort of thing. Carrot top pesto, maybe?

What comes after the leaves?............Flowers.
And what comes after the Flowers................Seeds.

My cunning plan is to plant all the carrot tops that come my way (including the 5kg bag I was given today) and let them flower and, hopefully set seed. I'll leave them to self seed and grow a self-perpetuating carrot bed.
The bonus is hoverflies like carrot flowers.

Step 1, put my 4 carrot tops in a little water until the leaves emerge.
Step 2. Find an out of the way spot that can be a permanent carrot bed. 

I'm going to try this with any other root veg that I acquire - beetroot, parsnips etc. Nothing ventured...........
