I haven't intentionally sown carrots this year. But for you veg experts, does this look like one to you?  |

I'm certainly no expert, but it looks very similair to the foliage in one of my troughs where I did plant some carrots for the kids  |

Because of how much foliage you have there Shrub, if you gently move the soil away from the base and see orange -- then probably yes But the foliage looks a bit thin to me (I know what I mean  possibly a herb? x Tig |

Didn't strike me as a carrot on first looks. I thought fennel, maybe love in a mist something like that.
Might be worth cushing a small leaf and smelling it !!!

We have this little weed thing that I always think is carrot. It has small pink hooded flowers, don't know what it's called though. And there is also chamomile but I guess, as with fennel, you'd smell that!! ;D

I got confirmation on what my 'mystery' plant is - was at the nursery last Monday and went into their herb section and stopped in my tracks when I saw the 'wild chamomile'. Ah-ha, so that's what it is I thought. Dont know whether to keep it now. It does smell very pleasant though but I always consider this to be a weed. What does everyone else think? Should it get the chop or not?  |

NO! Don't waste it Shrub...chamomile is a lovely plant and good for wildlife - you must have a little spot to find a home for it somewhere.... |

It's still going strong LNG - and has lovely little flower heads on it. I quite like daisy type plants and will keep it in a pot for now |
