I know that if you take an organic potato (not sprayed with

Well, can you do the same with a organic carrot?
No: Carrots are biennials, and the root is storing energy to make flowers
the following year. Except that we eat them first.
FWIW, Queen Ann's Lace is wild carrot -pull one up and crack the root and
smell. It will cross freely with domesticated carrots, so takes elaborate
birth control measures to prevent this if you're growing seed.
Rats!
