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.

Pic? Are you sure it's a carrot?

I thought I had added the image, but it seems to fail. Here is a link I just edited the post to add. https://imgur.com/a/qzOZ1OR

Yup, that looks like a carrot. That's what they do when they grow up! Eventually it'll flower and everything, if you let it!

You might be able to cut the stalk way down, but I suspect that carrot root won't be very good. I haven't personally grown carrots though.

I am definitely going to let it grow and see what happens. Thats part of the fun of gardening for me.
