Thanks everyone for the kind comments and encouragement. I agree with Debra, I think the best way to handle all that needs to be handled is one day at a time. Tomorrow I'm going to go buy myself some alfalfa pellets and start planting a few of my real favorites as there is a spot that I can start planting. I have also found a few spots to start planting some of the lilium. The martagons will look good at the edge of the woods. The new house has a lot more sun and once I get over the shock of moving everything, including myself, I will forge ahead
:thumbsup:It really killed me when I had to dig up my huge clump of VANILLA GORILLA
The old rototiller has broken and can't be fixed so we are planning on going out this weekend to buy a new one.
I'm very fortunate that my hubby
likes to garden and does a lot of the heavy work for me because I know my back would never make it.
Susan, yes, those are painted ferns, I love painted ferns and they did very well in the shade gardens. I love ferns and grew many in the hosta garden, another favorite that did well is the hardy Maidenhair fern, so delicate looking yet so hardy. I love your idea about taking some photos of the areas and using them as a sort of template
Springcolor, I'm on the lookout to find a quantity of compost and will hope to use some of it to heel in some of the plants over the winter. As I am in zone 5 all the plants that don't get planted would benefit from some protection for sure. I will hope for good solid snow cover this year.
Mona, your idea of finding help is a great idea, I'm thinking of putitng an ad on Craig's list. My husband has a big backhoe up in NH and if he can bring it down to the new place in time it would prove very helpful in getting plants heeled in for the winter. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Life is just going to be crazy for awhile.........I have to plan my new kitchen and bathrooms also as they are totally gutted right now. When I go to sleep at night I think about how I would like to plant my gardens......
......thanks again for all your support.
