i think i have given up on the yard now

there are things planted and we'll see what we'll see, but from everything i've read stuff will either die in the 110F heat or later on in a winter freeze so further $ invested may be a waste

and the only solution is to keep everything as potted-and-mobile or indoor plants

there's already been issues with ants and gnats so the impetus to leave them outside and then bring them in later is now very low

so maybe i will just have a lot of indoor plants - at least i can take them with me when i go

the one pothos is at least VERY enthusiastic and all the greenery is *so* fucking mentally soothing

... i just really want to buy so many more plants and i *have* to stop

#maybe if i liked succulents more or cared about flowers #but what i like is green and leafy and e idently none of that is really happy around here #like i have 'almost total shade' and 'lots of sun' options but nothing that will take those PLUS the stupid heat even with watering #gonna plant the the asiatic jasmine anyway just to see but then i guess just try to keep up with watering #i have two sansevieria a boston fern several pothos two peace lilies (one 3 ft) salvia sage oregano #a very sad dieffenbachia and tiny croton and some rosemary that i think gave up the ghost while the mint *may* be hanging on #got some indoor elephant ears from a kit just starting we'll see what happens and a red anne #the hostas and caladiums will come up or not idk #i just wish i knew something that would grow like these weeds lol thank goodness for the horseherb #i realized that sll i want is the same plants we had growing up but we were in sub-sealevel galveston - basically tropical #so all that won't necessarily like it here - people say hostas don't like austin :/#but we had what i'm pretty sure was the asiatic jasmine out at the front of the house and the elephantears and caladium #around the side with the ivy and the dracaena and the azaleas #everything i see that i like in the nursery ends up being labeled 'indoor plant' here #tempted to try to find some pink mulhy even though it's not 'leafy' just bc it grows here and might live #the palmetto does keep coming back after the freezes so that's something #obviously if i wanted to spend a lot my problems would be easily solved but it's not my house so i'm not buying like .. full shrubs
