I have learned a lot about how it's needed, in particular for short growing seasons and to prevent some pests. Still, you would think I'm killing puppies or separating twins.

I had to thin a clump of tomato plants this morning and actually yelped "so sorry!" as I did it. It's ridiculous. And I'm currently procrastinating on separating the paprika plants because I have to recover first.

It’s wild, I’m still relatively new to gardening, and when I watch an elder do their thing they are just expertly brutal. Meanwhile their gardens are gorgeous and happy, and mine are crowded and overwhelming.
I hate the idea of splitting so much! Like slicing through their lifelines shouldn’t be good for them. And having read about how plants actually communicate distress hasn’t helped my bleeding heart, haha
