thinning carrots

thinning carrots
I tried to seed the carrots more thinly this year, but still they have ended up very dense. I am starting now to thin them. They are still too small to eat. I thin them gradually - soon the baby roots will be large enough to munch on as I continue to thin the rows.

Daucus carota

Again I clumsily sowed the last lot and had to spend ages thinning them out. Most of the roots became intertwined, but at least it speeded the job up!

The thinnings can be used in soups and stews!
