I'm trying something new this year ... I thinned the carrots the first time when they were super tiny, but left the plants still pretty closely spaced. They were too small at that point for me to have gotten very attached to them. Now I'm pulling baby carrots that are just a little too close together to grow to full size, and the rest will be my main crop. The baby carrots are delicious!
ha, I stumbled on the same site, too. I think I'll pass, it sounds like it's quite bitter. Site has some really interesting looking carrot recipes, though. My carrots are still super tiny (PNW has been way too cool this year) and they're still closely together so I'll probably do the same thing you did as time goes by!

I love turnip greens. Chop them up and put them in miso soup, yum!
