If you're talking about these beasts, yes apparently they were the first carrots. The orange carrots have been bred over many decades from this ancestor. Or so I've read...

When orange ones look like these, the farmer told me mites cause it.
Thats pretty interesting about the wild carrots. Ever tried eating one?
Ahhhh gotchya, now I know what you're talking about! And no, we haven't tried em yet but we sure will one day when we have to forage for food! For now, the chickens eat em :)
Hahaha. I reckon I'd give them a try!
They smell exactly like a carrot and apparently you can spice food with the tops too. It's comparable to parsley.
Oh thats pretty cool. Kinda off subject but have you tried onion flowers or chive flowers? They are great in salad!
Mmmm no I haven't put the flowers to use, but we do grow chives, thank you for the suggestion!!
