summer (temperatures regularly 100 and above). As a result, two of my beds
now have tons of un-germinated carrot seeds in them. One of them holds
garlic now, and the other has the wilted remains of peanuts.

I am wondering if some of the seeds may sprout and grow into carrots next
spring. I know that you can plant onions in the fall and have them sprout
first thing in spring; would this apply to carrots as well? I have noticed
a few sprouts since the weather got cooler, but they haven't really done
much, as it is quite cold at night. Do carrot seeds just stay sleeping all
winter and sprout in the spring like onions do?
