Team Pick It Off, or Team Leave It Be?

It is said that if you ask 10 gardeners how to start seeds, you will get 10 different answers. That's one of the fun things about gardening- there is more than one way to achieve the desired results. Of course, we gardeners are opinionated about our preferred methods, so pick your teams:

Team Pick It Off just can't leave those little seeds alone. Your seed sprouts a root, two little leaves peak out, and the seedling starts growing. The trouble is, the tiny plant looks like a little soldier with a hat on. The broken seed is still holding tight to one or both of the seed leaves, and you just can't bear to see it. You pluck the seed off, freeing the seedling of its burden.

Of course, there's the other side of the field.

Team Leave It Be: Those who just let things take the natural course. Stuck seed? It'll work itself out, no worries.

As for me, I'm on Team Pick It Off. It must be the mothering instincts always picking and pruning the little seedlings!

What about you? Which Team do you play on?
