the conservative side and only pick a few on the bottom that were ready.<\/p>\n<p>Once I was done with all my lettuce I decided to finally work on my carrots that needed to be weeded and thinned out.\u00a0 Carrots are one of the hardest to weed and thin out because when they start they are very small and can be easily confused with weeds.<\/p>\n<p><a
