Trying to figure out which is carrots and which is dill

[LizTrull]

When we started our seeds earlier this spring, we forgot to label them. Oops! We have figured our all but these last two, I know one is dill and the other is carrots but cannot figure out which is which. Can anyone help?

1. Dill.
Anethum graveolens
Try smelling both...Dill, a member of the parsley family, has a strong-smell, fennel-like.

2. Carrots.
Daucus carota subsp sativus.

Yeah that is right. The picture on the left.. the one with finer leaves is dill and the other one is carrot. I love dill and I am always growing it. Somehow this year I haven't got them to sprout. Maybe my seeds are old.. I need to get some fresh seeds. Thanks for the reminder.

I also think the one on the left is dill. The one on the right is fuller and the leaves almost resemble parsley. I have never grown dill, but all the fresh dill I've seen has skinny leaves and is more frond-like (similar to fennel). You'll know for certain if you pinch off a bit of the dill and chew it.

Carrot tops are edible (but bitter).
