I recently filled up my veg garden and I planted sprouts straight from the packet into the soil. I never have any luck with seeds so this time I dug out a shallow line of the soil and basically tipped all the seeds in a nice neat row!!
With the recent hot weather things have got going in the garden and today I was taken by surprise to find a thick green line where my sprouts were planted. I only wanted 2 or 3 plants but currently I have in excess of 200 - so that's good!
Question please to you experienced growers - how and when should I thin the seedlings out? It seems so wasteful!! A bit of sprouty knowledge would really be appreciated!!
