Part 5/8:

When your seedlings reach about one to three inches in height, it's time to thin the plants. Ideally, leave about an inch between each plant, ensuring they have room to develop fully. Pulling out the smaller, weaker seedlings allows the stronger ones to thrive, and if done correctly, the thinned-out carrots can be harvested and enjoyed as baby carrots.

Care and Maintenance

Once your carrots are established, they require minimal maintenance. The most crucial factors in their care are consistent watering and managing their environment. Carrots prefer cooler weather, making them an excellent choice for planting in late winter to early spring or late summer to fall.
