I just spread carrot seeds randomly in. And as they grow pick ones that are too close to the others, that way I am getting nice baby carrots and get a longer harvest, carrots should also be able to stay in over winter too,
This is exactly how I plant carrots, lol. How cold are your winters? Our carrots are kinda funky year two. It also seems like they're prioritizing making seeds over making a nice carrot. We also have a ton of wild carrots that come up so flowers = pull it.
That's exactly what they're doing. Carrots don't bolt til their second year. I let a few get huge one year and the next I got like a pound of seeds off them. Thought I'd hit the jackpot. Found out the hard way why you don't collect seeds from F1's
