How do you get seeds from plants that don’t produce seeds?

by admin on February 12, 2010

When browsing the store for plant seeds I notice some seeds from plants that do not seem to produce seeds. An example would be carrots but I am sure there are many more.

Carrots are biennial plants, which means they don’t produce seeds until the second year. Most gardeners don’t let carrots grow that long, so they never see the seeds.

The carrot tops go to seed if they are allowed to grow that long. Carrot seeds are tiny, the tops make tiny flowers at one point that contain seeds.
