Aim to keep the soil around them weed free, although once the carrots start to grow strongly, their foliage will shade out most weeds. If growing your peppers outside, wait until all risk of frost has passed before moving them to their final growing positions.

These measurements will be plotted on his growth charts, which are kept in his red book (personal child health record).
