To be annoyed about the position of a plant? (Petty and random)

[CruCru]

We've been having some work done to our house and garden. A plant I'd ordered arrived today so I planted it on one edge of a flower bed (raised bed surrounded by bricks) so there would be lots of space for the other things I want to plant.

When DH saw it, he said it was much too close to the edge, would overhang and block the path and I should move it to be more central. I said Fair Enough and did so but am now really annoyed. I'm being ridiculous, aren't I?

Nope, I am constantly moving plants around in the garden. Even pretty big shrubs. They all find the right place, eventually.

Agree with above, I shift plants all the time. They might look a bit sorry for themselves for a couple of weeks, but they soon bed in again. Especially if I've moved them to a good spot.

I once had to move a plant four times before it rewarded me with a new leaf. I can't for the life of me work out what's so different about the south-facing wall that is the side of my house .v. the south-facing wall that is the fence in my garden though.

YANBU These things are important. Some plants just don't look "comfy" if in the wrong place.

What's the plant?

I have plants to shift tomorrow; they are annoying me with their misplacement. Make them a nice big hole, bigger than the rootball, shove some slow release fertiliser pellets in, fill hole to the top with water, bung your plant in, and refill the hole. Make sure is kept watered for a week or so, longer if it's a shrub, and it will do just fine. I've moved small trees before now, and they've been fine.

I thought your subject line said "planet", so I was going to say YWBU. a plant, not so unreasonable.

AgentProvocateur Why not move the planets into a favourable configuration?

Moving plants = gardening.

What's annoying me is not that I moved the plant but DH couldn't just accept my original choice on where to put it.

Do you think he was right or wrong about it growing to overhang?

Whether he agreed or not, it's your plant your choice where to put it. You went with his choice so did you agree that it was a better one or just default to his idea? If you agree that it would overhang, sounds like you might be annoyed with yourself thinking that you got it wrong or something?

Yes, I see your point. I thought it would be nice to overhang a bit but maybe it would annoy DH.

Part of it is that we've had this building project go on for two years and I've just about had enough of it. I just want to make a decision without a long debate.

Then stop the debate OP, just do it and if he comments then see why. But the default on little things like this should be that the person planting- aka you- does it.
