Thinning carrots and rocket

  • Once the seeds have germinated and started growing small green leaves go over your rows and pick out the weakest-looking leaves.
  • Water the plants well before thinning.
  • Grip the seedling between thumb and forefinger and pull.
  • Leave a 2cm – 4cm space around remaining plants.
  • Do this exercise three to four weeks later. But this time leave a spacing of 4cm – 8cm apart.
  • Keep hold of the carrots and rocket this second time, and use in salads.
