hi im a kid im 12 and yo inspired me to start my own garden Ive learnt alot from you like last week I planted some tomatoes and avocadoes tey are growin great

Your thinning procedure is a really good idea. I've been gardening for a long time and I figure you can never stop learning. What I have done is plant carrots with radishes. When it's time to pull radishes it leaves room for the carrots to grow and vice versa.
Your channel is great. I get a lot of value than from a lot of others. I live in the High Desert of California and the weather can be quite challenging to garden here, heat, cold, winds. Thanks so much for sharing the wealth of information.

I followed this video to grow my carrots and they germinated quickly and at a very high rate! Just waiting for them to get a bit bigger now to thin. The advice in this video was so helpful, now I use your channel to help me with all my other plants 😊

Thank you for the thinning idea! 👏💡That’s brilliant! I’ll definitely do the same and just let all my carrot seedlings live a little longer.😊

Many years ago my mum used2 work on a carrot farm..I went2work with her everyday & used2 play in the carrot fields & catch frogs..Nothing nicer than the smell of fresh picked carrots & the soil.💚

I love the idea of thinning the largest carrot and getting to enjoy them!!! I always feel like I am wasting the thinned tiny carrots! Great idea!

[nobullziggster]

I remember reading somewhere a king wanted orange carrots/ they were purple before this. They go back at least 5000 years n id bet way way way further back than that. I got my grow light today / lol happy camper but wasnt really ready, spur of the moment thing because of you guys videos lol

[jtharp]

Thank you, I have plenty of land, but have 150 onions coming beginning of November & my Garlic is about ready to plant also, after having in frig about 2 months already since I live in hot Texas - plus need to till my dirt so will plant carrots on my deck, like I did with some tomatoes which im still getting & peppers all peppers are really doing better now, my serranos I've given my oldest son over 146 peppers & I've got 5 gallon bags of green peppers in the freezer, plus about 25 still growing in totes & bags ....
So now will do some carrots & radish for everyone ....Thank you for the thining, , , , advice great idea 💡 instead of throwing away !!!! Trying to stock up on everything,
Prices are going up daily, ITS NUTS - also everyone needs to stock up on essentials, wood for fireplace, propone gas, can goods look at dates, Meat if you can't hunt ....

Thanks for the thinning tip!
I felt so reluctant to have to take out all those little carrots, instead of giving them a chance to get big enough to eat 😊🧡🌱

[karenandriancontainergardening]

I have a container garden and carrots are my yearly failure! I will watch any any and all videos about growing carrots! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and take care

[ms.lgraves]

I'm ready for cooler temps so I can finally grow a plethora of normal sized delish carrots thanks to this video! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👍🏽👍🏽


I LOVE your videos!! Your voice and how you lean in as if you're sharing something you're not supposed to makes me want to watch all of your videos one right after the other.

Your thinning trick is BRILLIANT! Thank you 😍🥕

[pidpit]

Thank you so much. Lost my carrots to the latest frost down here in TX, even though I mulched and covered with frost cloth. Going to try again.
Thank you for the tips!

[IAMGiftbearer]

That is a great idea to thin the carrots when they're ready to eat so none are wasted!

[theoldguy]

Great description. I actually tried this in containers theis year. The raccoons emptied the grow bags before any germination. Messed up my peas too.

[tonypalmer]

Love it. Just like my barrels, easy to start early. I like to use Vessy's pelleted seed, easy planting and spacing. Come on spring time.
