Yay Carrots

[Reweed]

Just been for a quick looksie at the allotment, seems i now have baby carrots. YAY! Never managed to get them to germinate from direct sowing before.

Problem is I put in about 5000 seeds expecting a less than average turn out... how wrong was I. I fully expect to be on my knees this weekend thinnign them out. The Joys.

Don`t thin them out yet, grow them all until they are big enough to use as baby carrots.

[Reweed]

even if there are billions of them? won't the lack of space restrict growth?

[DavidT]

They will grow apart, trust me.

Oh, the joy of sowing tiny carrot seeds! It reminds me of the very first time I grew carrots. The row was only a few feet long and it took an entire packet of seeds!! But I flatly refused to thin the row out, because I think it's a waste - like David said. Okay, I didn't grow big carrots but they tasted lovely!!
