Carrots
« on: April 13, 2014, 22:23 »
Carrots, there just coming up, not a true leaf yet, but when one comes can I thin them and replant the one I took out? the reason I ask is because I know they get long not like other veg, so dont know if they will take re planting or not, and my bath looks pachy as well, seems like they have come up in clumps, thanks guys

Carrots do not transplant well. It will inevitably lead to forked roots I'm afraid.

You could always try using a trowel and dig it really well down into a clump, lift it gently, support the clump on the trowel with your hand and replant. Nothing lost if it doeasn't work.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.
