Lost my over 50 carrot seeds my son had gathered by planting them too close together. Started out with 100, so when I saw them wilted and dying with the description of why, I destroyed every 2nd seedling to create space. Like all these games, there is a learning curve for those who do not research new aspects of a game they are not familiar with. Definitely not worth creating a thread on the subject, or blaming someone else for one's own ignorance. I did the same thing as you with my first flax & barley seeds, but I learned from my first mistake with the carrots, and only planted 3 then waited 10 minutes to see what would happen. After these two blunders I began to Google things I was not familiar with.

We live in a culture of blame. People will blame anyone or anything for their misery sooner than take the responsibility to own it and make it better.
