RE: Moving a garden

Doug, you are a brave man, to have an interim garden.  So much work!

Of course the sanity of anyone who moves a garden must come into question (mine included), but can I ask why on earth you'd leave your daylilies behind or the hosta?  They are such "bullet-proof" plants!

I TOTALLY appreciate your insights into the new garden being just that: a NEW garden.  Anything else would be like cloning one of your children!  Every garden is individual and I'm sure the new "lay of the land" will whisper it's own desires and needs as I become familiar with its voice.

I also heartily agree with the next garden hopefully being less work-intensive.  I see my older gardening friends leaning more toward shrubs, trees, groundcovers and perennials that are not a lot of work.  I will follow that lead, as one of the main reasons for moving is to have time with my granddaughter.  We'll see if I pull that off in reality since I am truly a plant junkie and love trying new plants.  Talk is cheap, always.

Excellent advice about the anti-dessicant; I had no idea.

Thank you ALL for your input of time and thought on this matter.  I knew you'd come through for me.  Now if I could just convince you all to come and help on moving day..............!!!!!!!!!!

Susan
