Whilst in Homebase this afternoon, I wandered around the garden
bit and noticed among other vegetables, they were selling small
trays of carrotts, each with 6-8 clumps of quite tall
seedlings. Instructions of the tray said palnt out in frost
free soil! No indication of whether you should break up the
clumps or of distance.

I was always lead to belive that transplanting of root
vegetables like carrots/parsnips/swedes etc was a no no, as
they roots would split or not form properly.

Is this true? If so how do Homebase justify selling them like
this?
