Were are you located? I'm sure some of us would be willing to come and re-home your plants!

Where are you located?

My only big project this year is to tear out a 200 foot hedge of David Bisetti bamboo, we are just a bit too warm for it here and replace it with Vietnam pomegranates (Thanks Christine). I will have to find spots for a few other pomegranates from the University of Floriday study plus if all goes well a couple chestnut trees and a couple mulberry trees from Lou.

there may be an echo here but where are you located?
I will continue to tear up a large gravel driveway and plant ornamentals in it as well as a rear yard that I've covered with cardboards and mulch. Lots of planting to do so I'll be looking for hardy, drought tolerant things.
Would love to give your plants a new, happy home.
I'm sure you'll find new and different gardening activities in your new place - once a gardener, always....

I wish you the best in your next move, sometimes a change is for the better, we just have to be looking positive and count all the good things that we have every day.

Indoor gardening can be very rewarding and prosperous and violets are very pretty! since you have plans to get a gardening plot, that will work very nice for you, let us know in the future how is all going.

As for me since I love veggies, I will always be trying new varieties, hope to increase my indoor garden with some rare and pretty finds, the outdoor garden will get only the hardy ones. I ordered few stone fruits that are a mix and I am looking forward to them.

Come spring I'll clean up the mess from this cold, but haven't any real plans now. I have about all the arbors I think I can have hubby build now, 7 arbors and one pergula. Of course there is always a plant that dies and needs to be replaced and mulching to do. I still like making plants into standards so that requires a lot of pruning. I'll be busy even with no plans. lol

I would love to help you re-home! I have a shovel and can dig...and better, I have a teen boy who will dig for me while you and I gossip. Let me know when is convenient.

For the plants you would like monetary renumeration for, e-mail me what you have and I'll see if my budget will let me work things out. Or if you want orchids in trade, I can see what I can bring.

This next year I plan to actually garden again...shocking, I know. I can't start classes until spring, if then, so I actually have...gasp...time! So I'm going to mulch like heck, clear out the things that need clearing, and just generally fight jungle entropy.

I'm on the west coast, in So. Sarasota County. Amber has been here before to retrieve a rather large white BOP years ago. That huge hole became my tiny bog garden, which gave me years of pleasure before most of the plants died in the freeze last year.

I have a friend coming over from Miami to get what he wants, or what he can fit into his car, rather. LOL I know him, and he will have me holding onto things so he can come back later and get them.

I'll let you know after he leaves, and make arrangements for whatever is left. I really would rather leave NOTHING in this yard for the damned bankers. I put way too much love and work into it to see someone else just let stuff die.

I had a guy come over today, and he said the citrus can be moved, best done in February, and you have to cut them back by at least half to move them, then know what you're doing after, but I know a lot of you could do it with enough muscle power to dig them up. Otherwise, I swear, I'm going to cut them off at ground level. I'm not leaving my precious fruit trees here to be abused and killed. I've seen what people let happen to fruit trees that are already in yards when they move in. I watched the guy behind me let this tiny little orange tree almost die from lack of water, so I just went and told him I was digging it up and taking care of it. He didn't care. That is one of the trees I have now, so you can see why I don't want it to stay here. One of my navel oranges was rescued from a friend's compost pile. It's healthy now, but I will never see fruit from it.

This was supposed to be my urban homestead, instead, it turned into an urban nightmare. But all things work with the universe for the greater good, so I'm excited about the move. I just want my babies to be taken care of.

Thanks for offering to adopt them. I'll let you guys know.

Hi
had to make a comment on"NERVE" lol I offered some Carombola to a neighbor and she not only wanted me to pick and deliver them she also wanted me to peel them!!
There was an Orchid on E bay with an asking bid of 1500
for a "cutting" Also was infected with "virus" at no extra charge lol Missed the final sale ,wanrted to see if it sold and at what price. I've always said that Orchidists are the "craziest " of all species of gardeners??? lol Good luck with your move. gary

Well, considering it's below freezing here as I type, I plan to take out a bunch of dead tropicals in 2011!

I'm still going to embrace "Toss-a-roo". I culled a lot of plants last year but you'd never notice. Some of the swap seedlings are humongous and need to go.
I thought orchids would be easier because I wouldn't be digging holes but after bringing them inside for the 3rd time, I'm not so sure.

I plan to plant cherry trees, peonies, hosta, tulips, and lilacs. Baby it's cold outside!

Sorry to hear of your sadness. So many people are in the same boat.
My plans for the winter came from an idea from two posting about flowers. I'm running out of space in the garden and realized I could take out a sea of ferns and making a "lasagna" shade garden. This spot also has some protection from the cold.
My yard had been ignored for twelve years so there is lots to do.
I just went and walked around before getting my coffee. It's darn cold out there!
Good luck to you.

I'm giving serious thought to hibernating until springtime, this cold season sux.
I'm tired of playing the 'drag the pots' game as temps went down in the teens again.
I think my body has had it's limit of chill hours and I may never flower again.
The joys of Florida winters are upon us.

Well, I hope ( HOPE ) to get some kind of greenhouse-structure in the back-yard for the orchids and 'maters and peppers in the winter.... also kill-off a bit more of the front-yard grass and plant a larger Butterfly garden and roses garden, maybe 5 feet wide and 15 feet long.... also set aside an area in the back for the sweet-taters, they take up a lot of space with those long-runners, I'd kind of fence it off so the runners are confined more.... and I'd like to finish that patio-sitting area in front under the Guava tree, would have to get some more red and white 12 in. pavers from Lowe's, I hang the orchids out there in that little tree when the weather is warm enough..they are in the laundry-room now... so much to do and so little time !!.... sally

LOL at Amberroses! Yeah, it's chilly here too, but not unlike most South Florida winters, it will be back into the 70's tomorrow. Go figure. So tomorrow, I will be pulling out all the plants in the garage for watering and sunshine.

This in and out stuff is getting monotonous.

Putting in a fertigation system for the veggie garden, got the tank and 9V battery operated valve installed, will run the lines next week.
