Beginner Gardening: Cabbage and Carrots, 1 by Chillybean

The first photo shows what should have been broccoli. Somehow a couple cabbage (At least I am guessing this is what it is) seemed to have gotten mixed in from the starts we bought at the nursery. I've never grown cabbage and very rarely ever bought a whole head from the store, so have no clue when it is ready. These were planted in the last week of April, so about how long before they can be harvested? I am thinking of making cole slaw with it. That's usually how I buy my cabbage. :)

We planted an heirloom carrot, a Parisian type, but not many have come up at all, so I am not eager to yank any just to see what they are. Since there appears to be two different plants, which one is the carrot? And out of curiosity, what is the other, if not a carrot? I had a bunch of darker ones spread through the gardens that had a carrot-type leaf, but I pulled those and they were not carrots.

Thank you for any help.
