This is how my carrots are doing

Only 14 days since I had done my carrot planting, well, I have good news. And the fact is that, unlike other seeds I had planted in the garden, these all came out, and that really pleased me a lot.

But, as I had placed a little more than 5 seeds in each container, I had to do the necessary rereading, as I only wanted to leave 1 plant, since that is the only thing I have room for in the container.

As you can see, there was a second joy because in the bag where I was, they all grew very nice, and also had a very nice coloration, but, they were all very close together in the same place, so then I decided to do the necessary cleaning.

So, in the places where there were many seedlings, I pulled out some of them by the roots, because there was no danger of pulling out others by pulling out the ones I was going to discard.

Note: The carrot plants are not generally like the others that can be transplanted, but rather, you are where the seeds are sown, there they should be left.

And this is best done early, that is, when the plants are just growing, so as not to damage the other plants we have and also to be able to select the best ones.

We should only leave the ones that are better developed.

To tell you the truth, I found it a little sad to see how many I had removed. In this small fist, there were a little more than 15 small ones that were also developing, and I thought that it should not be, but obviously, this is for the sake of the other plants, and if I want them to grow healthy, it is necessary to do this cleaning.

In addition to cleaning, plants that have been exposed must be re-fertilized.

It is preferable that when it is with an earthworm humus fertilizer or with some type of soil that has enough nutrients so that the plants can develop in the right way to the carrots.

Putting soil back on the plant allows the plant to remain firm and stable, and can further ensure that our carrots can keep going.

Carrots are a type of vegetable that likes it very wet, so it is always necessary that the place where they are planted has a regular watering, but always avoid waterlogging.

It is very likely that, in the next 45 days, the orange color that distinguishes carrots will be visible.

Well, this is the update on my beloved carrot planting. I'm still excited about it, as this is the second time I've done it, but this time it's different, as the result is more noticeable.

The idea of this sowing is that it will be the impetus for future sowings, since at home I have a little more than 1000 seeds that I have acquired, and it is likely that I will have a little more in the next few days, although I do not know if I have enough space, or at least containers to continue planting.

Be that as it may, I know that as we move forward, I will continue to show you how the garden and the carrots are doing, and you can see how I did to plant them in these containers in the following link.
