Thinning young vegetables.

When picking off the plants from a row to thin out to required length apart,this is usually done so around the third-leaf stage.Spacing is of great importance.Some close enough,others a certain distance.Transplanting with some of the plants can be tried again.The likes of Turnips,Swedes,are a waste of time to try them when thinned out.Lettuce can be tried and in most cases will survive.Some though,not to happy about the move.Successional sowings [little and often] solve that problem.Chinese cabbage need enough of the root on them when moving.[Not to happy with the move either,and hate being touched on the roots.]
