Thinning out (or pricking out) plants is hard to do, but a necessary part of gardening. Thin out crowded and weak vegetable plants to give remaining plants room to grow. With a few simple tools gardeners can thin vegetable beds and increase their harvest as a result. Gardener Scott shows how he thins the plants in his vegetable garden beds. (Video #174)

So you pull one plant and drop it’s dead body next to another plant for it to look at? Then you probably eat that plants offspring! Your brutal my friend. Love your videos!

Beets can be grown multi down. You can then harvest the largest 1 then harvest the remaining beets later. Charles Dowding does this all the time.

I used to thin out veggies without remorse. What really gave me a feeling of guilt was thinning out peaches!

Your videos have helped me so much! I’ve had my mini garden for about 3 weeks and I have noticed the my bush beans have been to close to each other! So this video helped a lot I would love to see more “Bob Ross” videos. Even when I’m not doing to learn just for fun! This will help me get some bigger/healthier beans thanks Scott!

One of the most difficult and meticulous part of gardening. I'm always struggling to do.

Thanks for another great video Gardener Scott. I'm still very much a newbie, but something I figured out quickly is that large quantities of seed are cheap! Most of the time I buy 10-20 times more than I need, over-plant by a factor of 3-10 and thin as required. This method insures I utilize every square foot of soil and leaves me with thousands left over. I use the extras to grow microgreens during the times when my garden is not producing.
