How Many Transplants Can One Yard Handle?

This is turning more into a gardening blog than a house blog. With all the renovations we're doing, I feel like we're going to really need all our plants so we can afford to eat this summer!









We moved about 1/3 of the farm to other parts of the yard. It looks like we lost one, maybe two squash plants in the process and did a little damage to a couple of the tomatoes. Hopefully everything will spring back the way the phoenix roses did. We're getting good at moving things: roses, oak trees...



Once they're done with the sewer pipe, we'll plant some of the seedlings Rob has on the kitchen window in the bare patches.

Phoenix Lives!

That's a new leaf on one of the roses we transplanted. All of them are showing some sign of life. Amazing what a foot of rain can do!

Rob got so optimistic, he dug up the rest of the plants and moved them. I wonder if new plants will spring up in the old locations.

A rose no longer grows


Alas, even the phoenix roses could not survive the botched transplant we did. If only we could have found the root ball...
