One time I did that, and was horrified to see that the next day the gardner removed it and disposed of the body.

It was my baby and it was literally choking itself in every pot I planted it because it would just grow until the entire pot was roots.

I now know that it had to be done, this is what it means to be an adult. To know that sometimes murdering a baby mint is for the greater good T_T

A lot of being adult is finding the justification and necesity of certain evils.

They are not welcomed, but we find peace in embracing, acclamating them.

I first learned this with pets. My brother in law, in his youth, would stone puppies to death. A cruel act but they would endanger the food rations. I am thankful I did not have to live that life.

I am thankful more humane and proactive measures exist now.
