Thin You Carrot Rows For Maximum Yield! Carrots are one of the best root crops to grow in the backyard. They are easy to grow, easy to harvest, and fun to eat! Kids love ’em, especially first-time veggie eaters!
But Carrots need to be thinned to within no closer than 1 inch from each other to achieve maximum production. Thinning usually starts when the plants reach about 3-4 inches in height. Thinning is easy, you just pull out the plants you want to discard….but in this video, we look at three different strategies for thinning, each with their own benefits!

I tried to grow carrots and radishes last Fall. However, the seedlings did not survive the first frost that happened at the end of September. Everything I have read about planting carrots and radishes tells me that they are cool weather vegetables and would do better in the Spring and in the Fall. I started my containers the first week of June; so, I was too late for Spring, last year. It stayed too hot all the way through to about mid-September. Do you know of any varieties that are heat tolerant?
Another great one!
I never thought of doing it that way (thinning 'backwards' essentially…) I think I'll try it
Carrots are good for your teeth..
Great video and I just planted my carrot seeds yesterday in my new piece of ground
Thanks! I was just about to start thinning my carrots, might give the third method a try!
How do you prepare those baby carrots when you eat them?
Thin? I can't even get them to grow. Commercial seed company I will not name, pack of carrot seeds planted according to direction and not a single seed germinated. I even tried the wet towel method and nothing. Also a pack from same company of sweet yellow peppers, nothing. And a pack of strawberry seeds, nothing, over 100 seeds and not a single one germinated. And a pack ot tomato seeds, nothing. Planted seeds from a store bought tomato and they are growing.
All the other seed packets were fine, sweet corn, beans and peas.
great tips!
I am not speak english. I speak portuguese. How like of plant. Acabei procurando um canal english. I am from brazil
Love your video. When you thin out the carrots can you replant those somewhere else instead of throwing them away?
They say carrots are a cool season crop. Would it be a waste of time to try to plant carrots now?
Excellent video! Glad I never got around to thinking my carrots this season. I’ll be picking the big ones today!
I think it is better to mix with sand before you saw, so that you don't waste seeds.
Yes, I am a huge fan of waste not, want not!
How long does it take from germinating to starting method 3?
I had planted only a few little finger carrots and the carrots are able to harvest now.
1) What will happen if I don't want to harvest it?Will it continue growing until produce seed then die?
2)when the carrot is ready to harvest, is it possible to replant it somewhere else instead of eating it? (just curious…
What do you do with all the carrots you took out ? Could you replant them ?
I will try #3
Thank you for the information! The video is short and concise with helpful information and excellent video recording and editing to clearly see what you're demonstrating. One distraction, though: The constant "upswing" of your tone of voice at the end of so many sentences (a common mistake made by many today) is hard to listen to for very long. It's like hearing you ask a question in almost every sentence. Please forgive any affront. None is intended. The rest of it was worth sticking it out. If you're able to be aware of and improve that one point, you'd be golden! Thanks again!
I tried the last method and it worked great! I have an early harvest of carrots and they are delicious.
Perfect! Thank you this helped. I’m going with option 3
