Is this a carrot seedling?

I sowed my carrots about 4 weeks ago and thought nothing had happened, but on closer inspection of the row full of weeds I have lots of these :



I'm HOPING that they are carrot seedlings...but as I have also found some in my row of peas (which also haven't grown, apart from one) I'm not so sure.

Organic...so far!

Well it was the big one in the middle I was wondering about, but that's answered that then! Thanks Gobs!  :cry:

It looks like a carrot to me. You can usually tell them even earlier - from just the long narrow cotyledons with a tiny 'fuzz' between that turns into the familiar carrots leaves. I'd say it was a carrot..

Are there any others in the row?

Oh, I might be so wrong, but they are more serrated and delicate on my mind. :lol:

True but it is a very close up pic and from a distance they look more delicate.  I was hoping it was a carrot too because my new carrots look like this!  Can't say why there'd be any in the pea patch though except for wind blowing stuff across of course.
