Hi Everyone, I am thrilled to have found this forum. I am a homeschooling mom of 4 human babies and quite a few furbabies (7 to be exact.) I am a master gardener wanna-be... but actually a novice who just likes to play. Digging in the dirt, planting my flowers is my stressrelief... I dont smoke, drink, or exercise for that matter... I depend on "playing" in the yard for relaxing and letting off some steam. We will be moving in 4-5 weeks if all goes well... and I am just sick to leave my yard with all of my plants I have planted over the years. I appreciate the opportunity to ask questions for those issues that may be common sense, but I don't know the answers to.

Dig all those plants up and load 'em on the truck!
I have moved about once a year for the past 10 years, and take my plants with me! So many of them have a lot of sentimental value and couldn't be replaced.
Welcome to the forum!

I have primarily bulbs(I am lazy and love how easy they are ) I have daylilies (several types), hybrid lilies, Easter Lilies (am I starting a theme here?), cannas, grape hyacinth, hyacinth, tons of different daffodils and narcissis (I love the ones my Nanny calls Scrambled Eggs), iris, spider lilies, paperwhites, gorgeous double blooming rose of sharons, rosa banks, holly, a bradford pear that has been self grafted by a washington hawthorn I thought I accidentally killed, calla lilies, angels trumpet, hydrangeas, jasmine, chinese daffodils, crepe myrtles, verbenum plants and bush, lots of English Ivy, gladiolas, creeping myrtle, phlox, clematis, mexican heather, roses, spirea, forsythia, moon flowers (form of angels trumpet), plum trees, plus lots of other stuff that I have just drawn a blank trying to think of names and plants that I have planted and waiting to see if they come up again (I plant anything and everything that I can find...) Mind you, we have 1 1/2 acres that was nothing but flat grassy land when we moved here... no trees, no flowers, nothing.

It is about 75 miles... so I can theoretically dig up alot of them and put them in the back of dh's truck and drive them over... just trying to keep up with the little ones while I am doing it. Trying to keep up with a 4y/o, 2y/o and newborn while digging is quite interesting. Maybe I can send the bigger 2 to play with their granny.

I hear you on that.. That issssssss alot of work.... (mine aren't quite spaced like that, but they are alot of work..and a mother next door to fill any extra spare time..)
Do you have a local Church you attend or in your area????? Maybe an idea here.. They could come help..and for their help, you'd give them, half of what they dig.. They take home some, have some for the church, and you take some home to your new home, and then when you get to where you are, you don't have that many to plant and would be easier on you..
And if they were going to be torn up anyways, it's an all~around win~win if you did it that way..
Just an idea
