Carrots

When I seeded the carrot bed outside, I just broad casted the seed and crossed my fingers. 2 weeks ago, I thinned the first thinning and came back with a half a cup of little 1/2 inch orangy things that tasted pretty good. Last weekend I thinned again. This time my carrots are 1 - 1&1/2 inches and ORANGE. We sold the bunch at the market. The carrots are still too close together to grow to full size uninhibited. So, I will get to thin again next weekend. I pulled one yesterday just cause I wanted to. It was 2 &1/2 inches long. I can't wait for the yummy baby carrots! This is the first time growing carrots successfully. Is it too soon to say successfully? Maybe. But you see, I have BABY carrots...so it is a success.
