Tendersweet carrots on 27 August seen straight down, a dense bright yellow-green stand of foliage cut two and three times over into narrow threads, thinning away to single seedlings at one corner where the sowing ran thin.

Lacy foliage thin enough on 4 September to separate into individual rosettes, each fanning from its own crown at soil level with bare dark ground between them — pale ribbed stalks crowding where they converge, the upper fronds rim-lit by low sun.
