Spent 8 hours pulling and counting 11 different sorts of semps. It's half accomplished. Have them sitting on stacking bread trays to air dry a bit before shipping them out on Monday or Tuesday. Am also topping off the beds as I move them out and replanting the remaining semps to keep them higher than the sides of the raised beds (so as to have no water damage over the winter). Tedious and very time-consuming, but worth it in the end. Hope to finish it up tomorrow. So far, you can't tell that any have been removed - I really do have A LOT of certain semps.
The most I am pulling are 200 of any one variety and most are in the 50 - 100 range. So far, I have only opened up one area by pulling ALL of the semps in that area. They were noID's and very similar to S. 'Sanford Hybrid', so no great loss. Am trying to have fewer and fewer of the noID's - only because it annoys me to NOT know their names. The noID's I'm keeping are ones I'm sure are named varieties and I just don't know what they are. I keep hoping that I'll somehow manage to identify them in time...
