Seedlings!

The eggplant finally sprouted! So teeny tiny amongst the towering cucumbers.

Seedlings Spring 2011 - 1

But now it's time for me to cull each little square to a single seedling each. I've probably let them alone for way too long already anyway.

Seddlings Spring 2011 - 2

I have been dreading this day ever since the idea came into my head to sow seeds this year. The summer I spent in Brooklyn, I grew tomato plants from seed. I refused to thin them out before planting and they definitely suffered from my moment of weakness.

But how do I choose? I love them all! ugh.

sad face.

  1. This is the part I hate the most. And to be honest, last year I didn't cull… still had a great tomato crop. But my seedlings are coming up now and I'm faced with the same decision as you. How do you decide who stays and who goes??
