MOVED

Hi

We've done it, we've finally moved in to our new place at Mt Pleasant. 
We've had couple of weeks to do it. Spent 3 days just moving plants, and 
that doesn't include all the Impressive Irises stock. We're fortunate 
that we have been able to lease back the propagation areas at our old 
place for 6 months, until the probable new owner of the business takes 
over. I never realised just how much STUFF we have, a lot to do with the 
business.
It's been 35oC plus everyday for the last  days and about 40oC this 
weekend before we get a bit of relief. I've got cut daylilies plants in 
tubs of water, I've pots and pots of potted daylilies and irises. I've 
also a very large number of bare-roted irises and a few daylilies. We've 
also got a very large number of orders to dig, that will take til the 
end of January to clear. Rest and retirement. Not Yet!!!!

Our new house is a lot smaller than our old place so lots of compacting 
of personal space, although there will be some minor extensions and a 
new 9x9m shed. We're also installing a 95,000 litre rainwater tank.
This new place has 4 smallish shadehouses. 2 for pots and two planted 
with camellias and fuschias, but I've been able to place a lot of pots 
in and around these.Very handy in this heat. I want to get my vege 
garden up and running soon, have got some tomatoes and potatoes  in. 
However will have to fence an area before I can plant greens, as there 
are resident rabbits. The soil here is wonderful, very light sandy loam 
and about a ph of 5.

I think I will be able surface sometime about May.
