WHERE DOES THE SEED COME FROM?

So thought I would share some interesting info about a question I have been asked more than once...where do carrot seeds come from? It's true that when you grow your carrots you don't see the seed...so where is it? Well, it turns out carrot is a two year plant or biennial...if you overwinter the carrot (leave it in the ground) in spring it will come up again in a totally different way! The plant will send up stalks that produce large white flower heads that mature  (see pictures below)...and voila, carrot seeds!!
