During the week I was reading about thinning carrots, so looking at my first crop of Early Nantes 2 carrots I decided some of them needed some extra space. I uprooted about 5 seedlings, giving the rest about two inches between each plant. While the small seedlings definitely looked like carrots, they were very very small, about the size of a matchstick each. We dropped them into a salad, but they pretty much got lost in there!
Here are the first crop, now at 9 weeks old.
The second crop which was sown a month after the first lot, and is shown below. These are still too close together, so I'll need to think these out in the next week or two I think, but I can't imagine I'll even get the smallest of carrots to eat from these when thinned.
