Cruelty to Plants

Now that it's warmer outside and inside my house, I've had more success sprouting. Although now I'm having trouble reconciling their delicious fresh taste with the feeling that I'm committing pet-plant cannibalism. To sprout, you have to soak the seeds, wash and dry them twice a day, keep them covered for a while, then give them sun. There's a lot of care involved and I can't help but feel tender about the little lives I'm cultivating. After four days when they're ready, it's sad to see them go!
