How long does it take for the seeds to be ready once you see the carrot starting to flower? I have one that has it's 1st flower up now & was wondering how long I needed to keep it going before the seeds are ready to harvest. Do I have enough time before the frost/below freezing temps arrive?
Does anyone know which Ontario weigh offs have a heavy carrot as a category all on it's own? It would be nice to know, as it is the GVGO featured other vegetable & it would help our growers know which weigh offs to take their carrots to. I'm sure there will be quite a few carrots out there. Hopefully someone can break the Canadian record, if not the WR. Good luck to my fellow carrot growers.
Thanks in advance.

I think you pretty much have to dig a carrot up and over winter it and then plant it again in the spring to get seeds.
