I moved to a different area at the end of September 2016 and wish I could have taken more plants with me. Unfortunately we were going into a temporary, furnished, rental property with no garden. In turn that meant all that we owned had to go into storage and obviously plants wouldn't have survived. I brought just four plants with me and they were crammed behind the front seats of my car. A difficult choice but I decided on three rare plants and one of sentimental value. Sadly two of those plants I lost over last winter.

It took a year to find and buy my new home and I've been here less than three months, but those two remaining plants are now in the ground and hopefully will survive this winter and thrive. :)

Well, we hadn't sold this house yet, so no worries. We are officially putting it on the market next week. I may even go ahead and pot a few. Either way, I don't think it week be an issue.

That's a nice warning to me. As I don't want to lose any of my plants and I have got thousands of them.
