Not an exciting title but one of the first things we did in the fall of 2021 was to move plants from our rental house to our new property. I crammed as many pieces of perennials that I could into our 4 large wine barrels and dug up the daylilies, Iris and lily bulbs. We transported the wine barrels to the property to winter over in an out of the construction zone spot. The property has a large dilapidated shed that had a relatively protected spot next to it on one side that served as a temporary spot to put the daylilies, Irises and lilies. I had to remove a very large clump of yucca that had been growing there long enough to grow partially under the shed. The dirt is about 50% gravel in this spot but with a little amendments it has served these plants well. Our next project was to move the blackberries and raspberries. We chose a spot next to the back fence to dig raised beds, amended the soil and planted them with our fingers crossed. Moving them right before winter is risky but we didn’t have much choice. In the spring of 2022 we added strawberries and a second raspberry bed with plants from a former neighbor.
