I know of no reason not to - nothing poisonous, if that is what you mean. Holes in your carrots may just mean you have wire worms having a snack! Anyone else?

It is perfectly safe to eat your carrots... does not matter what they have been grown with! Kenny it is the bulb of the daffodil or tulip that is toxic to humans, it has no effect on anything else! Folk used to grow their carrots in amongst their flowers in old fashioned cottage gardens it never caused a problem.

Hi Lectriclen,

As Kenny said : "hello and welcome i dont think that would be a very good idea but that is only me others might tell you something different if in doubt sling em. good luck"

Couldn't have put it better myself!

Slinging them would be a total waste - they will be perfectly OK to eat.
