Beds with root crops need to be thinned twice.
The first time the procedure should be carried out a month after the emergence of seedlings.
As for carrots, it is enough to leave a distance of 2 cm between vegetables. Beets require more space, which means that you need to leave at least 3-4 cm for the fruits.
The procedure can be repeated in early or mid-July.
Here, many gardeners may have a very logical question: why do we need two thinnings?
The fact is that by this time the vegetables have already grown to quite “edible” sizes, which means that they can be used for food.
As for the fruits in the garden, they will receive more nutrients from the soil, which means that the harvest will be stronger, tastier and larger.
But how to thin out the second time?
Experts note that the distance between vegetables should be twice as large. For example, if previously there was a distance of 2 cm between root vegetables, this time it should be 4 cm.
