Growing Carrot

Hi there, I planted some dutch carrots about 4 months ago and whilst it is producing carrot the plant is now nearly 2 meters tall and flowering. Is this normal? The couple of carrots I pulled out were short and slightly disfigured so I figured I needed to let them develop more but it appears as though the only thing developing is the height of the plant and the flowering which has developed rapidly with the warmer weather. Should I let it go or pull them out?
