Thinning the Carrots

After a hard day at work Monday, I came home and played in the garden for a bit.  There’s nothing quite like finding some perspective in amongst the sprouting of new life 🙂

While finding some perspective, I realized that the carrots were a little out of control and that, if I didn’t give them some space, they would choke each other out!  So, I took the time to patiently pull out about a hundred little sprouts one at a time…apparently I was a little heavy handed when putting the seeds in the bed!

Ahhh…breathing space!  I thinned the babies to 2-3 per inch (ish…who’s measuring?) and may need to do a second thinning, but for now I think they’re happy!
