Love the idea of thinning by snipping rather than pulling

Perfect timing for posting this! Are you Zone 7a or 7b? I am in Zone 6 (Toronto); we still have lots of snow and thick ice in patches after a record cold and snowy winter. Planning a veggie garden & building planters will start soon - and your images inspired my hubby who will build the boxes and grow his favourite, kale, in them. Thanks & happy harvesting!
