My sack of carrots is doing really well (so far!). They have their first feathery carrot leaves and are about 1" tall.

They're fairly tightly packed in & I was wondering when is the best time to thin them out? Should I wait until they are a bit bigger?

I have read about the carrot fly being less active after sunny hours, so I will thin in the evening, but just don't know WHEN to thin them, if that makes sense.

Thanks :)
