can you eat smaller carrots if you have to pull them early?

[stustu12]

@evilknight16 : YES! and they may be quite tender though perhaps not full flavor...

Thank you! It's my first time gardening and I sprinkled all the seeds along. Now they're all coming up and I was wonder how to fix it. Thank you.

You are very welcome! Good luck and remember to water deep ;-)

@stustu12 nice wat a healthy carrot patch! so when do u harvest? this videos in september is it close ??

[stustu12]

@boxa888 it really depends when you plant...carrots can stay fresh in the ground for quite some time, though eventually they get tougher and hairy with new roots...

@stustu12 sweet thanks, do they flower too? they must right, i have really small ones growing right now, they seem healthy right now but i dug one up and there was just the root, so it seems i got a few monthis to go before i even see a carrot root lol

good video and tips. I planted, or should I say "over planted" my carrots about a week and a half ago. The little sprouts are only about half an inch high right now. When should I start thinning?
