Thinning
Vegetable ■
Plants
It’s important to thin the
plants in your vegetable
garden while the plants are
still small so as not to
disturb the roots of the
remaining plants. Ac
cording to Jeff Jabco,
Delaware County
Cooperative Extension
agricultural agent,
cucumbers, melons and
squash will be ready for
thinning as soon as one true
leaf has fully expanded.
Don’t pull, but pinch off
or cut the plants to be
discarded. Move extra soil
toward the remaining
plants immediately after
thinning. Thinning is im
portant because crowded
plants compete with each
other, grow spindly and are
usually worthless.
You should thin carrots
as soon as the plants
become well established so
they stand about one inch
apart. Then you allow them
to develop until they are
large enough to be eaten.
You can pull alternate
plants leaving more room
for those that are left.
As soon as sweet corn
plants are four inches high,
thin them to stand seven to
eight inches apart in the
row for early varieties and
10 to 12 inches apart for
late, long season varieties.
