Salad seeds are small, and best sown in rows outdoors. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, you'll need to 'thin' them, reducing crowding in the row. Thinning your plants gives them space to grow to larger leaves and dense hearts.

What happens if you don't Thin seedlings?

When left un-thinned, seedlings that are in tight quarters will compete with one another for nutrients, water, air, and root space. Those are not things you want to deprive your seedlings of! In addition to concerns about competition, crowding seedlings also increases the risk for disease.

What happens if you don't thin carrots?

Without thinning, plants get crowded. Crowding causes competition for light, moisture, and nutrients, yielding a stressed, stretched, and sometimes mangled crop--especially true for carrots. Crowding also reduces airflow, which encourages fungal disease.

When should you thin out carrots?

Carrots will discolor if the top of their root is exposed to sunlight. Begin your first thinning when the plants are 4 inches tall. First look for the smallest and scrawniest plants to remove from the garden, or those that are growing right on top of one another. Thin the plants to about a thumb's-width apart.

Why should carrots not be transplanted?

Do you have to replant carrots every year?
