Carrot fly is attracted by the smell produced whilst thinning, so its best to avoid thinnign if possible or do so in the evening. Water before thinning and remove all the debris. Do not transplant. Aim for roots 5-7cm (2-3"") apart. Young Carrots can always be pulled alternately to 'thin as you eat'.

Harvest

June to January, depending on when it was sown.
