Help!Top like a carrot, but pale green, root like a carrot, but much thinner & a pale colour.?

The plant gets a lovely golden/yellow flower, which lasts for ages. It doesn't transplant...just dies, which makes me think it might be a weed! Any suggestions?

The fact that ir "doesn't transplant" doesn't mean it's a weed - it means it has a taproot system and doesn't transplant well. Cilantro doesn't like being transplanted either...



Do the flowers curl up into a "nest" when they're done? if so, it's probably Queen Anne's Lace. otherwise known as "wild carrot".
Reply:Hard to say without more details but it does sound like a weed ,especially if it has just popped up in the middle of nowhere. the quickest way to resolve this is take to a sample of it to well a known local gardener and i bet they've encounted it b4 and can tell you exactly what it is! Good luck!
Reply:sounds like wild parsnip to me :)
