Scrap plants

[el48tel]

How bad would we all feel if science proved plants can feel rejected? thinking about this lately and perhaps rather than "scrap" or "hope it would die" how about " i failed to grow you properly and will release you to the ground in a suitable place"

Like when i hear someone say " thin out seedlings and compost them" how about thin out seedlings and put them in a bucket or large scrap container so they can live, they may even surprise you as they have.

Releasing any non native species into the environment is a no-no .... even a criminal offence in some countries

So death or wish or death is better than giving it back to nature?, we are not talking about Japanese Knotweed here folks, we are talking about that same cactus abandoned in the front yard just because one does not like the look of it, well it wants to live and passing to someone else for free in the eyes of the law of causality if that person plants it in the ground you are responsible haha.

Plants, being living things, die. I used to get upset when I lost a plant, but now I just shrug my shoulders and move on. It's a good thing to get rid of an old and diseased, or of course, a dead plant. It releases space for a replacement. After a lifetime of growing plants I've got to be rather hard about it.

I'm not sure I could scrap the plants in flower, just lovely
