Not going to thin mine.

They're in light compost and should gently tease each other to one side.

They're no thicker than the ones I grow outside which I never thin either!

Ive got two containers full, so Im going to thin one and leave one (I like chunky carrots to mash or slice, not so keen on smaller ones to cook whole) and see which one 'werks for me'

I planted them in a grid an inch apart, I'm guessing I can pull up every other one as a baby carrot when (if) they get big?

BUMP !!!!


Hows the carrots going ?


 

[DD.]

Well, seeing as you asked! A few minutes ago......



Going slowly in this cold weather........... but still there!

[Kagganz]

Aww        

Have you peeped at their orange bits yet??

(I would have done)  :shock:

[DD.]

No point at this stage, I bet they're only about an 1" long.

The cold weather doesn't help. :shock:

Looking good!

Mine still look exactly the same - seed leaves only  :roll:

How are all of your carrots doing, I didn't experiment with them as I got my greenhouse at the end of last year and didn't want to put anything in it e.t.c, but I was interested in seeing the outcome. When were you ment to harvest them and were they worth it ?

Thanks

Well I'll be honest and say not a sausage, zip ziltch but mine where outside and I really should have known better    if they come up now it will be a miracle and they will be amongst the onions

Just posted this in another topic, but mine are growing well by the looks of it.  They were in the pot in the unheated greenhouse over winter and have been outside for a while, now on the top shelf of the staging here:



Thinned a couple a week or two ago and there was nothing showing at the roots other than a little orange line!

I didn't have great germination but I do have some very well advanced carrots.  I looked at the roots but didn't see anything that resembled a carrot.  I'll post pictures tomorrow.

Don't give up on them yet. I sowed mine outside too, and after what must have been the coldest winter for many years - some of them have come up. I sowed 2 rows and i have 5 seedlings, but hey - that's 5 more than none at all!!

Mine look great. I moved one box out of the greenhouse a few weeks ago to make room for other stuff and they are about 4-5" tall, the ones in the greenhouse are about twice the size.

I had one of my indoor purple ones the other day... just baby carrot size but very purple.

Will take a pic when it's light tomorrow
