Hi Tiffany,
Congratulations on your move… You'll have lots of room for your plants and many , many more of your favorites.

I ran across your list and it seems your entire list of plants are deer resistant except the Pom.
Sounds like a lot of digging.. and many shrubs on your list are well worth the effort.

With all the deer and elk, around here the only shrub/small trees I have trouble with are the weeping elms and Arbutus unedo/ strawberry tree. The deer keep them trimmed to their reach height from the ground.The deer tend to eat flowers roses, Lily's. ..well you know the drill. Nothing worse than lily stalks in summer poised with buds and over night the deer gobble them all.

The plant addiction will hit big time in spring…You are going to have fun planning your next garden.
Good luck and many happy, healthy and fun memories at your new home.


PS . Still growing the portulaca you sent . It's been in a warm place under lights all winter.
