Title: Can you identify this
Post by: ches on August 26, 2019, 15:34

Hello all,

We have a few of these dotted around our poly tunnel. When we took the plot over a few months ago we pulled up a load of parsnips and carrot. So we think these could be carrots. Anyone have any ideas? The leaves are different to the carrots I’m growing.

Thanks

I have some weeds that look like that so pull it up and the root should look slightly different to a carrot.

I get those too, I just pull them out straight away and compost them!

My reluctancy to pull them is because they are in straight lines....as if someone has planted them. Are they edibles?
