3/4/00. My yields in the past have been less than satisfactory with recommended rates, so I decided to sow these very thickly. My small space does not allow for long rows spaced apart. I decided I would rather thin heavily if needed, rather than have a sparse crop. Carrot seeds are very tiny, so they are hard to see. Seeds are approximately 2-2½ mm in length.

3/23/00. Danvers seedlings just coming up.
|
|
4/1/00 Carrots thinly germinated. Reseeded in same rows.
|
|
4/7/00 First planting seedlings are growing; no new seeds up yet.
|
|
4/11/00 Finally, some new carrot seeds are up.
|
|
4/19/00 Second planting seedlings are coming up and growing better now.
|
|
4/30/00 You can see the difference in the two plantings clearly here.
|
|
5/21/00 Second planting growing fairly well. First planting has yielded several small carrots from thinning.
|
|
5/30/00 I guess these carrots will be sacrificial lambs, too.
