Thinning

the instructions on my seeds all say...after a bit of growth thin plants so that the weakest plants are taken off giving more room to the strongest.
I can't do that.

Yup you heard me folks. I can't just pull out a little baby from its womb of earth and toss it in the compost because the other one needs more room. Maybe my plants will fight it out themselves. I just can't kill something for living too close to another. I shall try and plant just one seed per pot....it's taking a chance I know but i bothers me less. The good folk are happier with me when I do this.

Oh and what constitutes a weed? isn't a weed just a plant that you don't want? That's another toughy for me. I can pull weeds if they seem to be choking another plant to death but just growing? No. Think about how Dandelions are maligned! these lovely plants that give us leaves to eat in salads, heads to make into wine, roots to make into a brew...and also help keep us healthy...detoxed etc. We pull these little yellow buttons out as if they are evil. I appreciate you Dandelion....I do indeed.
