Collecting Carrot Seeds

6 Comments / In The Garden / By

I’ve been slowly switching to saving my own plant seeds, saving seeds from more and more plants each year, so I can be self-sufficient in that aspect. So when it came to carrot seeds I thought, hmm, how?

I looked it up and the proceeded to do the following:

  • Leave a few carrots in the ground at the end of the season. Leave them in the ground throughout the next summer. They will establish flowers at the top of their stems.
  • Closer to Fall these flower heads will turn brown. This is when you can go out and find tons of seeds.

I kept about 15 carrots in the ground and didn’t need to, so I have a lot of seeds. I think for me, being just a small hobby gardener, I would maybe save about four or five carrots in the ground each year for their seeds.

This was a very fun experience for me. I love learning! I hope you enjoy it too and thank you for visiting my blog!
