None.
Most of the plants I grew would not do well here, if they lived, at all. The annuals were self-sowing, the roses were trained on trellises that we had to leave.
I did try to bring the angel trumpets, in pots, but the movers packed them into the truck and they sat in storage for about six months.
I am hoping to get some more from Sandra, this spring! This is not the first time that has happened to me.
I have had to start all over, several times. Each time with new construction, so I don't ever have established trees. That' s why I have never seen my peonies bloom. They resent transplanting, and sulk for a year or two. By that time, we have moved on...
If I could pick, I would not choose this area as my forever home, but God has brought us here, and I will make the most of it!!
I will be gone all week, leaving the projected 60° temps for Boston and the New England Flower Show, where they just got a foot of snow. What am I thinking??!! I hope the crocus don't bloom while I am gone....
That constant uprooting must be really rough, Sissy. So many of the most beautiful and beloved plants like Hellebores and Peonies need time to get going.
ReplyDeleteI was lucky enough to be able to bring a few things from my IL garden when we moved to Texas, and a few passalong daylilies from old friends are thriving. But most of the stuff I brought here croaked in the first summer.
Have a wonderful time at the flower show!

I have lived in a couple of places that weren't my first choice but would have gladly stayed rather than move, move, and move again so I sympathize with you. Have a great time at the show!
ReplyDeleteHi Sissy, I'm back...and now you're gone! lol After being away for a few days, I'm slowly catching up with everybody's news! I do hope you have a great time at the Flower Show and managing to stay warm!! xox
