Okay went to transplant those annuals and realized it's a thing where there's like clusters of bulbs down there each supporting two leaves and a flower, and I took out one cluster one-by-one keeping their roots from ripping and I had like 11 reasonable-sized ones and one big one and I'm like okay what the hell do I do with this.
And I realize my trying to save these specific flowers is maybe old personality hoarder instinct and I can just get whatever plants I want at the nursery after I get the yard redone.
So fuck it, gonna scrap them. Also retrieved some wood from Strawberry Ridge that was too thick buried too shallow and cut it up for the side fill of Blueberry Hill.
So tomorrow planting the first blueberries, got some coconut coir to mix with compost for water retention in one site.
You FOOL those are free plants!
Also, if your 'annuals' are pupping those are perennials, fyi
Duly noted on the terminology, but it’s kind of realizing that if the “plants” as I knew them were really like 8 bulbs grown around each other then reinstalling them one-by-one individually OR manually rearranged to iffily replicate the cluster probably isn’t going to replicate the “fan of leaves from one point” feel I thought of as “the plant”, so if I’m not even carrying over “the plants I had here” it’s even less vital?
Like, I have some of those types of perennials out front already too, but if we’re talking backyard, where the audience is me and my guests, I wouldn’t choose those species to start with, which is what I’d really be doing here
