Growing Carrot

Hi guys, I live near Ipswitch in southeast Queensland I'm new to gardening but I've been reading alot but I'm have trouble finding information on growing carrots and onions for seed, I have ordered heirloom seeds online that i should have soon, I'm aware that carrots and onions are bi-annual not seeding till the second year. I really want more seeds then i will get in the mail as soon as i can. Is it to late for me to grow for seed this late in the season? I'm planning on bagging the flowers just before they open. how long should i leave the bag on for? will I have to shake it to stir up pollen? Thanks in advance.
