Carrots - 3


This little guy is one of the two transplants that survived. The other one isn't doing near as well and is only about half the size. We've got a lot more growing to do before it is done though! 


And here we have some of the seeds I planted. They aren't very far behind the one I transplanted despite it having such a leap in growth time! I will have to start thinning soon. The info I found on that said to cut them at the edge rather then pull so it will nourish the other plants and that is what I plan to do!

Carrot - 2


Originally, I wasn't going to do a carrot post today. They are still so tiny... but before I decided not to I went and looked at my last post and there is definitely some major change! (Psss... go check it out!)

This is one of two little carrots that I started in a baggie and transplanted. None of the others survived though I have a LOT of them sprouting up from the straight seeds I planted. I know the containers aren't deep enough but am hopeful that we will get a carrot or two out of the bunch :p

Carrots - 1

I've got a couple of pictures of my carrots to finally share with you guys. This first one is a transplanted carrot. Now, let me say that I transplanted about 6 of them that I started off in a baggie method and only 2 of them made it. That was after starting probably 20 seeds in the bag too. These are so fragile and the roots just couldn't handle it. But this guy and his brother have held on. 

This second picture shows a group of baby carrots that I planted for the first time on the same day I did the transplant. I figured none would make it through the transplant so I planted some seeds as well and they are finally sprouting and growing! I've no idea how to thin them but I guess I'll be learning! :D
