Has anyone ever seen anything like this and can help me with some sort of an explanation? Frankly, I'm baffled! Our carrots have not done well; they were planted back on March 21 (man I love being able to look back in our glog and know exactly when I planted something...my memory alone cannot be trusted with that chore!) and were slow in growing their leaves, which have not increased in size at all in the last month. I pulled a few random ones up a few weeks ago to see what was going on beneath the soil and there were tiny little carrots, really tiny. Now the plants have put out this very bizarre, carrot colored and smelling, tangle of carrot hairs! It is like something out of a horror movie. Attack of the killer carrots! What is up?
