Thinning Carrots
« on: April 13, 2014, 09:03 »
Mornin' Guys,

I appear to have sown far too many carrot seeds and far too close together. I can't for the life of me find the seed packet so I'm not sure how to thin them out and to what distance?  :unsure:

Can anyone help, please?

Don't remember having the same issue last year  :nowink:

Some pics so you can see:

That is thinly sown by my standards and I never thin out carrot seedlings.

They should gently push each other aside as they grow and any thinning can be done whilst you harvest them to eat!

I would leave them as they are.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

If your experience is anything like mine, you will probably find the slugs will do the thinning for you.

Looks like a perfectly sown bed to me. No thinning necessary there, and few weed seedlings. I hope the carrot fly net is just out of shot or is going on fairly sharpish, otherwise spacing will be the least of your worries.
