And then there was one.....

I really don't like this part of starting seeds.  "Culling" is what I think of it.

 I always overcompensate on germanation rates and plant at least three seeds per starter.  Most of the time, unless the seed is a few years old, they all come up.  I only need one per pod.  I just can never bring myself to plant just one seed.  

So "snip"goes the small, the misshapen, the late and the "leggy".  Sometimes, if all three are of equal vigor, it's just the luck of the draw......

They do not perish in vain.  They make right tasty little broccoli flavored sprouts.....

 And the lucky ones grow on.....
