    Hi,
    I'm 99% sure what I have is wild carrot but just wanted to get a second opinion, just in case. These plants appear to have hairy stems and while one of them has a little bit of purple coloring way down at the base of the stem, it doesn't look like purple splotches like I've seen in pictures of hemlock. Can someone please look at my pictures and let me know what they think?
    Thanks,
    Hana

    Not easy to say from that pictures... looks like carrot.
    If it is indeed Daucus carota you should feel strong distinctive "carrot" smell from its root.

    Yes, wild carrot smells of carrots. Poison hemlock stinks.
