Was away about a week. One carrot decided to grow super tall and looks like it will make a big flower. The carrot under isn't as big as it's brethern that I harvested. This is a new variety of carrot for me called "short and sweet". Never seen this with my other carrots.

Edit: I didn't notice that the image failed to upload. I have tried adding an imgur link.

Carrots are biennial. If you planted seeds this year and are seeing something put on flower buds, it's likely a weed rather than a tall carrot.

My upload failed without me realizing, here is a link, https://imgur.com/a/qzOZ1OR But there is a thin carrot in the ground attached to it... so I think it is the carrot I planted there.

The leaves look right for a carrot. I would let it grow and see what you get from it in the fall.
