Becky, We lived in a rental for 9 years before we bought this place. I had made many flower beds there and had 100's of plants. I was just going to take a little of most everything with us, so I wouldn't disturb the flower beds we were leaving behind. But the land lady asked me to try to get it all. They were just going to go in and plant grass the next spring, because she said most of her tenant's wouldn't want to take care of flower beds. So we took them all.
It was a big job, but we had a lot of help. Took 3 big van loads of just plants to move them all.
This was before I was hit with the Daylily bug. Can't imagine trying to move everything I'm growing now? My plant addiction is much, much 'worse' today! Plus I have much more room to grow it all in than what I had in the rental.
