Painful Sacrifice

I knew zucchini plant could be big. Everyone warned me about it, but I didn't know it could be that big. I planted 2 on the same row, less than a meter apart. It's a mistake. A fatal mistake. At least for 1 of the plants.

The one on the outer side is not so healthy because the other one is invading its space and crushing it.

"We have to take one out to give space to the other one."
"But it may die."
"It's not producing any fruits. Better to have 1 healthy plant than 2 unhealthy ones."
"But it may die."
"It's not happy now. May as well take a chance and move it somewhere else."
"But it may die."
"It will prefer to make the sacrifice for its friend."

So I moved it. And its dying. All because of me, planted them too closely together.
