Re:leaving your garden behind

This thread really hit home for me. We had to relocate and I wanted to put in the contract on our house that the new owners dead head every day. Hah! I had all of my perennials just how I want them and there were 5 large areas full of beauty.

We went by the old house a couple of weeks ago and we were shocked that the new owners had dug up absolutely everything in the front yard. I assume the back is the same but we couldn't see all of it. Looks like new construction with tiny little boring plants around it. It had looked like a perfectly groomed botanical garden and they destroyed it! They even got rid of a beautiful blue spruce. Enough to make me cry. The only upside is that it has stopped me from missing my old home. The old saying "you can never go back" must be true.

The upside is that now I'm starting all over again. Even though being older makes it all more difficult, we are in an entirely different climate zone and growning situation so though I will miss some of my favorites there are many new things to try I couldn't even dream of before. Got to look forward.
