Thinning Radishes



Here you can see that the radishes have come up close to each other.  For them to have enough room to make a bulb below ground, you have to thin them.

If there are 4 plants growing in the line, I pull the middle two.


What do I do with all the seedlings I pulled? See the next picture.














When I am pulling them, I try to do it gently so I can pull up as much of the root as possible.  This will help the sensitive seedlings re-root themselves.

I always leave room next to the rows so I can do this replanting.


             Any questions?  I do love those questions......
