As a beginner I was hoping to learn a bit more of what to do next I've got the seeds underway and I think I understand the thinning out bit but what happens after that?

Stuff I have found out - for other gardeners - carrots don't like recently manured soil. Change the soil every year or rotate with brassicas and legumes as you would in the ground. You then manure in the other two years before planting. This helps to reduce the chances of diseases and pests and maintains nutrient levels in the soil. Hope this helps!

I grow my carrots in a 40 gallon drum which is high enough to stop the carrot fly reaching them. Cut big holes in the bottom of the drum, put in a layer of big stones, then smaller, and finally gravel to a depth of about 10 inches. cover with double layer of old fleece (to stop the soil washing out then fill with mixture of soil and compost to within 2 inches of top. sow seeds and sprinkle on compost to cover. cover with fleece secured with string tied round drum, to keep warm till germinated.
