Move or not to move? Inquiring half-mind wants your opinion!
Comments (10)they probably can be driven on w/o killing them ... but they will be heavily damaged.. and i dont recommend that.. yes.. move them i did a post on moving fully leafed out hosta... and most of it would apply to dormant hosta ... study it ... for a week or two.. dig them up.. like a ball and burlap wad of soil.. and put them on the north side of a structure.. out of all sun.. maybe even putting in grocery bags.. or garbage bags.. leaving the tops open for air.. and replant immediately after project is done ... heck.. you guys ready??? .. you can probably even leave them on the driveway with the soil .... for the two weeks .... really .... JUST DO IT.. ITS NO BIG DEAL .. but for heavy labor ... its not worth the risk to be lazy about it .... ken...See MoreMoving your garden during a house move?
Comments (10)I know exactly how you feel. I have moved multiple times and I've now given up on any ground garden. Because I don't think I my current house is going to be my forever home, I am growing in large water troughs and it worked pretty well last year. Last year I planted a celebrity tomato in one that is 100 gallons and it did great. It's a semi determinant variety though and only got to be about 4 - 5 feet tall. This year I'm pushing it because I am trying an indeterminate type which gets to be 6 - 10 feet. I would think it would depend on the variety you are growing , whether it will do well in a container. I honestly do not know if MINE will do well or not. Also I don't know if cardboard will last months especially since you have to get it wet. The next thing is Potting soil in a container vs. ground. Ground soil does't do well in containers. I would look at growing the tomatoes in a planter that is large enough for it to grow....See MoreWe move, but what do you do with your grown kids stuff?
Comments (4)Ask the kids what they plan to do with the stuff when you move. It's their problem, not yours. My mom kept some of my stuff for years after I left home. I didn't know she had it, and didn't want it. If your kids have to deal with the stuff themselves, they may discover they don't really care about it either....See MoreChristmas decor when you're moving
Comments (19)Ha - funny thing about that mirror. It apparently comes with the house. First owners put it up, stayed there for the second owners and they left it for us. They said they thought they’d take it but decided to leave it. It’s kind of perfect for the space and it probably weighs a ton. The same thing happened with the desk and chair in the office. Fine by me....See More- 7 years ago
