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.
