Carrot Genocide

Aw shucks.

Remember how excited I was about purging the extra seedlings? I loved that feeling of plucking and trimming. It felt so nice to get it done while the plants were young. It was easy to see what I was doing, since nothing is very bushy yet.

Well, it turns out that Mel (of All New Square-Foot Gardening Fame) was right. I should've snipped the extra seedlings' stems with scissors. He warned that the roots might be entangled.

Shucks. I should've trusted him. I killed a lot of carrots. One more point for Mel.

I promise I am open to feedback and truly appreciate hearing others' insights into my choices (it's like free therapy!), but please say it in the same way you would say it if we were sitting across from each other at brunch or next to each other on a park bench while our children play.
