When you plant a carrot, you will get 3 seeds from it. It's a good idea (I think) to replant all your carrots at first to build up your seed stock. Once you have a decent supply, you can plant a bunch of seeds, harvest the carrots, and then replant 1/3 of the carrots to get your seeds for the next crop.

How did I not know this? I knew this about barley and flax but not seeds ugh lol

Well, most of us are raised in an urban or possibly rural but not agrarian environment. How tubers "go to seed" is not a commonly known thing...
