Carrots. Carrots are full of vitamins, minerals and fibers that are good for your health. But eating too many carrots can bring in too much beta-carotene the molecule responsible for carrots' bright orange hue and a precursor of vitamin A. This can lead to excess blood carotene which can discolor the skin.
They are found in the western side of the Great Plains region, particularly along the railroad tracks and river banks, sometimes near rocks and under groups of trees, but scattered about in general.

Here are some tips on getting rid of wild carrots in the garden:

- Till or dig the soil regularly to prevent young sprouts from taking roots.
- Use herbicides only when other means of control are ineffective.
Parsnips are root vegetables that look like off-white carrots and have a mellow, sweet flavor when cooked. Hounds like to use them as they do other sweet root vegetables or potatoes.

Carrots (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) are a member of the Apiaceae or Umbelliferae family, known as the carrot or parsley family. They are defined by their umbrellalike flower cluster. Only a few common weeds in the United States resemble carrots closely enough to be mistaken for them.
Wild parsnip is often confused with similar-looking giant hogweed, cow parsnip, Queen Anne's lace and angelica. Wild parsnip is the only one with a yellow flower, however cow parsnip is equally noxious when it comes into contact with the skin and giant hogweed is considerably worse.
Native to Europe, queen Anne's lace thrives in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 through 11. While the leaves may be poisonous if eaten in large doses, in general queen Anne's lace is not toxic to humans or dogs. Its look-alikes, however, are deadly.
Queen Anne's lace, for example, can be easily mixed up with giant hogweed. Both have an umbrella-like flower head of white blooms and can grow in all kinds of conditions. But what easily distinguishes giant hogweed are three key features: its giant size, its sharply-cut leaves, and its prickly, purple-spotted stem.
Queen Anne's Lace:
Also known as the wild carrot, Queen Anne's lace is in full bloom across much of "temperate" North America, Europe and Asia right now. The white flower head is edible raw or lightly battered and fried. By the time the flower appears, though, the root is too woody to eat.The poison hemlock (Conium maculatum L.) is a dangerous plant that grows throughout the United States. Hemlock poisoning occurs after ingesting any part of the plant, such as the seeds, flowers, leaves, or fruits. All parts of this plant contain toxic alkaloids that can be fatal even in small amounts.
The roots are not orange like a carrot, but rather yellowish or dirty white in color. Also, carrot leaves and stems are somewhat hairy but not poison-hemlock, which has smooth stems and leaves. In fact, poison-hemlock leaves often look shiny, especially compared with carrot leaves.
Queen Anne's Lace Look-Alikes
- Poison hemlock (Conium maculatum)
- Water hemlock or cowbane (Cicuta spp.)
- Common hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium)
- Giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum)
- Cow parsnip (Heracleum maximum)
- Cow parsley (Anthriscus sylvestris)
- Wild celery or garden angelica (Angelica archangelica)
The plant is said to have obtained its common name from a legend that tells of Queen Anne of England pricking her finger with a drop of blood subsequently landing on the white lace (similar looking to the flower) in which she was sewing. Queen Anne's lace is also frequently called wild carrot, and it is just that.
Wild Carrot, or Queen Anne's Lace, has been used for centuries in herbalism. An infusion is used in the treatment of various complaints including digestive disorders, (as it soothes the digestive tract), kidney and bladder diseases and in the treatment of dropsy.
Smell the Roots: The smell of Queen Anne's lace lives up to the name of wild carrot because it really does smell like carrots! On the other hand, poison hemlock roots are rank and smell like parsnips, although to some, they can also smell like carrots.
Originally Answered: Is carrot a fruit or a vegetable? The carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) is a root vegetable, usually orange in colour, though purple, black, red, white, and yellow cultivars exist. Carrots are a domesticated form of the wild carrot, Daucus carota, native to Europe and Southwestern Asia.
Even in those ancient times, many colors of carrots were present and used – black, white, red and purple. Interestingly, orange colors that we use today were not present.
In most countries however, carrots tend to be orange nowadays. Allegedly they are orange for entirely political reasons: in the 17th century, Dutch growers are thought to have cultivated orange carrots as a tribute to William of Orange – who led the the struggle for Dutch independence – and the color stuck.
They are a domesticated form of the wild carrot, Daucus carota, native to Europe and Southwestern Asia. The plant probably originated in Persia and was originally cultivated for its leaves and seeds. The most commonly eaten part of the plant is the taproot, although the stems and leaves are eaten as well.
Raw and cooked carrots are healthy options for dogs and make a nutritious add-in to meals. While carrots are generally safe, it is important to cut whole carrots and even carrot sticks into bite-size chunks before feeding them to your dog. As a result, you will prevent choking, especially in small dogs.
Where to Grow Carrots. In the ground, within raised beds or on the patio in tubs – carrots can be grown just about anywhere. They prefer full sun and well-dug, stone-free soil. Beds improved with well-rotted compost are ideal, though very recently manured beds may cause roots to fork.

"Carrots are orange because oranges are orange." At this time, the Dutch were primarily known as carrot farmers. And they grew carrots in the traditional hues of purple, yellow, and white. In the 17th century, a strain of carrot was developed that contained higher amounts of beta carotene -- the first orange carrot.
It is also known as wild carrot and the Latin name is Daucus carota. It is definitely edible for rabbits, as it is genetically the same as our domestic carrot, just not selected for improvement. Only the seeds are problematic, as they have contraceptive properties -- not what you want for rabbits.
