are they a very slender variety? Otherwise, I think your carrots need to be thinned more. But now you are thinning-by-eating which is fine. :)

Congratulations! Lots of people write in here to report failures with carrots, but they have always worked for me.

I do the thinning by eating method for carrots hehe! They can grow very crowded if the just have enough water, and nutrients ofc, but the water is the main issue. Also planting tight helps shade the soil thus keeping water from evaporate.

Sweet harvest tender baby carrots are so nice! My carrots are still under ground as seeds, hoping they will sprout soon.
