>> Awww, I think you should cultivate her.
Yes, you are 100% right!
I would love to cultivate her.
First, with a steel rake and a hoe.
Then a mattock to break up the tough bits.
Then ... no, first ... I should have covered her with about 6" of manure.
I moved most of the plants this weekend, and sacrificed a few.
Even the towering, flowering Bok Choy seems to be surviving. Amazing how small her roots were, to have 6-foot-tall flowering spikes!
I was multiplying some sedum and creeping thyme there (Thymus serpyllum 'Elfin' and NO ID Sedum).
They were big enough that I could put up 2 big, shallow pots each, plus two raised micro-beds EACH. The raised micro-beds are barely one square foot each, but it let me save the soil I had made without spreading weed seeds and roots into all my other beds.
Besides those four big "chunks", I had some pieces left over and stuffed a narrow planter with more sedum & thyme. I want to use it as ground cover in several places, like trenches and walkways, after I get finish doing the "Corey Corps of Procrastinating Engineers" number on them.
PLUS I found one circular, tight-knit bunch of tiny-leaved things hardly larger than moss. I don;t know if that was lurking in the sedum and thyme I was given, something native to my neighborhood that I never saw before, o0r maybe "baby thyme" from a really dense drop of seeds or something.
Pictures soon, I hope.
