Nope. You are not alone.
This weekend I moved my Iris, my Shasta Daisies that are in mid-bloom,
patio stones, salvia, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Since it rained
most of Saturday, that seemed to do them the world of good though and
nothing seems to have suffered too much. I wonder what it was about
moving things this weekend....????
