If you must thin, do so in the late evening when the fly is less active, and always water the row beforehand to help settle the soil around the remaining roots. Never grow carrots on recently manured ground, as this will cause the roots to \"fork.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Puzzle Seed Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56553513582916,"sku":"sku-56846126088517","price":1.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/0692\/3076\/files\/Flakkee.png?v=1774272700","url":"https:\/\/www.sturmergardencentre.co.uk\/products\/carrot-seeds-flakkee-flak-reliable-large-heavy-cropping-700-seeds","provider":"Sturmer Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
