Moving Advice

[3xhhheather]

What would y'all do?? I can't decide-- I'm getting ready to move from NC(7B) to NY(5B), I have several plants in my garden that would fit the new zone, but I'm worried they're too established to actually make the journey. I know that the house I'm currently in is going to get torn down for a housing development, so a part of me is a bit heartbroken about leaving behind to just get bulldozed, but then the other side is like do I want to really dig everything up and drag it to the new house? It'd be five hydrangeas, a bunch of hostas, a couple of st. john's wort and some perennial flowers. If a family were moving in I wouldn't worry about any of it

If you have the time, go for it. I wish I brought more plants with me when I moved. Anything with a taproot will be harder to dig up and move successfully. For any larger plants that still have leaves, you'll want to trim the top since you'll be trimming the roots.

All perennial plants should be dug up for relocation. This is the right time of year to move them all.

It depends on your time. If you have time, do it.
